Ratcatcher: Press & Reviews
Lynne Ramsay
Gear, December 2000 - January 2001

Set in 1970s Glasgow during a strike by sanitation workers, the movie shouldn't work. That it does is a mark of Ramsay's deeply lyrical, sensual style. For her next trick she brings Alan Warner's cult Scottish novel, Morvern Caller, to life.
