"...eerily beautiful...if the 30-year-old Ramsay is not
yet the world-class filmmaker she's been heralded as, then
Ratcatcher is a solid down payment on a career that
offer limitless promise...Ramsay has made a movie in which
a universe of hopelessness and decay is penetrated by shafts
of light that remake these bleak surroundings in strange
and beautiful ways."

"Scottish
writer-director Lynne Ramsay's exquisite feature
debut is something special... a knockout... exquisite...
striking... made with unhurried artistry and unblinking
assurance..."
"Ramsay
has a remarkable visual imagination, a gift for
putting vivid, poetic, images on the screen...Ramsay
creates unexpected, even daring shots of lyrical
beauty that go right to the heart...Ramsay's imaginative
shot-making gifts make for a sublime result, creating
a different sort of magical realism than we're
used to seeing."
"Ratcatcher
is clearly the work of a natural film artist,
and experiencing her debut is as much a privilege
as it is a pleasure...Ratcatcher's mix
of artistry and social consciousness results in
a new magical realism."
