"The moral to the story is that there isn't one" . . .

The moral of the story is that we make up our own.
I realize a lot of people easily dismissed the film as "arthouse" or "pointless" . . . but I see it as more of a meditation on loss and rebirth and about defining one's self.

" . . . it's the same crap everywhere you go, Morvern."

This only got a 6.3 on IMDB but mysteriously got an 83% approval rating on rottentomatoes.

IMHO - you know a film is interesting when there is such disparity. Just for kicks - compare their reviews for "Star Wars ep3" or "Legally Blonde 2" . . . or "Citizen Kane"

NY times calls Morvern Callar: "punk existentialism"

. . . bitch.
