I really enjoy Ramsay's style and think Morvern Callar is a careful, artistically crafted film, but the lack of dialogue and plot kept me from enjoying it more. I will say that it was a very poor decision to watch this while being quite tired, and that may have also influenced my enjoyment. I was impressed by Morton's performance and Ramsay did clearly show Morvern's struggle with avoiding grief and trying to run away from it, unable to face her life head on. That was a very interesting and well developed theme, but beyond that, there was little dialogue and her interactions with Lanna didn't reveal much aside from Morvern's introverted nature. The lack of consistent, propelling plot and limited exposition in regards to Morvern's mind or intentions (along with my tired, near-sleep state when watching) made Morvern Callar a cool, good watch but not memorable or exceptional in any element.
