lynne ramsey make arrest image and and samantha morton can summon feel with a gesture . so what a drag to discover their talent waste on this mannered and pretentious lark . ramsey can not bring callar to life . her attempt be too arty and oblique . repeatedly her camera lingers on long silent shot of the agonize actress a if morton obliterate gaze alone could supply character . we be in a blank warholian hell of self indulgence represent for a film that have minute to spare on bug crawl across the floor and you might think it could get round to flesh out it protagonist . but how will it do so if she rarely speak . without the novel interior monologue and the celluloid morvern callar be nobody . small wonder ramsey have morton undress often . that say and the first ten minute be so impressively acted and shot and edit that my hope be soar . give the film that much represent it know how to make promise and if not how to keep any .
