: Morvern Callar
This critically acclaimed film with a bizzare title sounded great: when a girl’s boyfriend commits suicide, she publishes his novel under her own name. It turned out, however, that was only a minor part of the story. The movie’s mostly just following this girl as she tries to figure her life out. I found it tedious and boring. Another annoying thing: the film alternates between long, extremely quiet scenes with no dialog to loud, noisy, dance club scenes where the music’s deafening. That was jarring and unpleasant. Overall, while I was curious about this strange woman, I was not intrigued enough to endure her boring life and follow the rather plotless storyline. It’s well done and some people might find it interesting, but I was just bored. A disappointment, but perhaps my expectations were too high considering what I’d heard.
