Although there are scenes in the movie where Morvern is surrounded by Christian symbols, such as crosses and statues of Jesus Christ, neither Morvern, director Lynne Ramsay or the critics take any particular notice of them. Secular critics have naturally responded favorably to the humanist worldview that seems the focus of this movie, which is based on a 1995 novel by Alan Warner. In fact, several scenes show that her character is more fascinated by the ugly underbelly of nature, represented by worms and bugs crawling amid vegetation, mud, dirt, grocery produce, and streams. The woman clearly does not feel bound by society’s rules, but she also seems thoroughly cut off from any meaningful contact with other people. Samantha Morton plays Morvern as an island all unto herself. The snobbish publishing people turn out to be as vacant as Morvern, who returns to Scotland to claim her money. At the hotel, two representatives from a publishing company visit her and offer her 100,000 pounds for the novel she didn’t really write. Morvern explores the wilds of Spain for a little bit, then ends back in another hotel. After both she and Lanna have one night stands with two young men, the two women separate. In Spain, Morvern seems vacantly cut off from both Lanna and the world. Before they leave, Morvern cuts up her boyfriend’s body and buries it in the Scottish highlands. Morvern sends out the finished manuscript under her own name and uses part of the money to pay for a trip to sunny Spain for both her and her friend at work, Lanna. He also leaves her a taped collection of music to help her remember him. The boyfriend left a note on his computer giving her all of his money in the bank and instructing her to send his novel out to various publishers. The boyfriend’s death gives Morvern a new lease on life. Samantha Morton of MINORITY REPORT plays the title character, a 21-year-old grocery clerk who discovers her boyfriend has committed suicide on Christmas Eve. In fact, it’s a great description of practically the whole movie itself. Webster’s Dictionary defines insipid as “devoid of qualities that make for spirit or character.” That is an excellent description of the empty-headed female protagonist in MORVERN CALLAR, a movie from Scotland made with government money.
