Movie Reviews of Morvern Callar
Movie Review: Credit for acting but not for much else
Summary: 2 Stars
The cast is quite good in this film, and perhaps some of the music, but the rest of it is unfocused, plodding, and trying to look artsy and mesmerizing by having no sound at all in the early scenes and then showing the main character examining twigs or windows or other things, as if it were meaningful to do so.
It's also impossible to be interested in the protagonist, who disposes of her suicidal boyfriend's body after leaving it in their flat for a while so she can go out and party for the sake of distraction. Then she replaces his name on his novel with hers, gets it accepted and gets the money and credit that should have gone to him.
Later, she drags her best friend out of a hotel in Spain, gets them lost in the wilderness and then abandons her pal.
Sheesh!
Movie Review: Why the fuss?
Summary: 2 Stars
This film is definitely not a masterpiece. I found it incredibly dry and incomprehensibly over-rated. Yes, the film was bleak but inexplicably bleak. To make matters worse, the main character seems to resolve her numbness almost out of nowhere. Perhaps I missed something gigantic because I was trying not to fall asleep while watching this drag on but I would not attempt to see it again. However, there were a couple of memorable scenes.
I would strongly advise renting it before purchase. Some people do love the film but I don't understand why.
Movie Review: Sucked, really. SPOILERS BELOW, but who cares?
Summary: 2 Stars
I would not recommend the purchase of this movie. Why would you let a dead loved one's body lay on the floor for days and just step over it? They never showed Morvern doing any drugs, but I'm sure she had to be on something the way she acted. What normal person chops their lover up and buries them without contacting anyone who might have wanted to know that he was dead.
Was i the only one waiting for Morvern and her "friend" to have sex?
I regret buying this movie.
