Following the suicide of her writer boyfriend, Morvern Callar (brilliantly embodied by Samantha Morton) meets up with her bestie for a night of revelry in wet, wintry Glasgow. Soon after, she signs her name to his manuscript, and thanks to the departed’s unused funeral funds, the girls decamp for nonstop continental clubbing in sunny Spain. The reasons for Callar’s unconventional reaction to the traumatic event remain compellingly mysterious throughout. The question of grief or grift is immaterial. The world that Lynne Ramsay and Morton create is the real thing. “Pure punk existentialism” (Elvis Mitchell, New York Times).
