After the suicide of her boyfriend, Morvern Callar (Samantha Morton) sets out on a journey of self discovery which takes her from Scotland to Ibiza and back.

This movie is definitely not for everyone. A now defunct local video store in Seal Beach even had a hand written note attached to the DVD case warning people that it was "boring". And I guess for most audiences raised on the films of Michael Bay, this is the case. There is no real plot, the dialogue is in thick Scottish accents and the main character is very unsympathetic. But I think if you're willing to meet this film half way, you will have a very rewarding experience. Oh and the mix tape that her boyfriend leaves her (which makes up the film's soundtrack) is AMAZING!
