Ratcatcher

Director Lynne Ramsay
Genres Drama
Run time 96 mins Certificate 15

10th July 2004

This artily shot and well-acted film is certainly evocative, but ultimately it's dull. Although bookended by two shocking events, there is next to no plot inbetween. Just the continued theme of disease and decay on a Scottish housing estate.

As a sort of grim tone-poem, it works well enough. However, I thought it struggled to maintain interest over 90 minutes.

(Incidentally, there are no subtitles on this DVD, so if you're struggling to follow the accents, you're out of luck.)
