I had no idea what I was in for and wow...<br /><br />I extremely hope Criterion gets the film and release it with loads of extra. They did a great job with <i>Ratcatcher</i>, they need to do the same with this film. Samantha Morton was indeed great in <i>Sweet & Lowdown</i>.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-10934545584662523372012-06-25T07:46:16.093-07:002012-06-25T07:46:16.093-07:00a favorite film, ehh?

Hopefully I'll get to see it soon, I shall give your review a read once I have.

There's nothing like it and I was just in awe of what I saw.<br /><br />Ramsay is set to release another short film for the upcoming Olympics that's also going to feature a contribution from Mike Leigh as well. I'm going to watch out for it and probably make a mention of it some day. She's already among my favorite filmmakers right now.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-65105633140426874192012-06-19T07:04:13.376-07:002012-06-19T07:04:13.376-07:00Oh fuck I love this movie.

Before I shot my movie, I sent my lead actress Cries and Whispers, Blue and Morvern Callar, just to get into the mood of isolation. <br /><br />Morton is just... Jesus, she's so good in this. You made so many interesting observations here, I don’t even know where to begin. I really liked your insight into the film’s ending though, all of which I couldn’t agree more on. Ramsay is, indeed, one of the best filmmakers in the world. I hope she makes more, more often.<br /><br />Great post.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.com
