CGiii Comment
This certainly split the jury...art or tedium? It's a bit of both.
The critics loved it - but what do they know!
Ramsay has certainly acquired a reverential status with very little to support such heady heights.
Ratcatcher was okay and depressing, Morvern Callar is a depressing, far-fetched, kitchen-sink drama of muted white trash.
Over-rated, under-whelming and devoid of any vital spark!
