“Where you're running out of time, you have these brainwave moments. It's allowing the space to have them, even in an incredibly tight situation.”

Scottish filmmaker

Lynne Ramsay is a Scottish filmmaker known for a body of work that includes Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here, and Die My Love. Her films have brought her numerous accolades. Her work often turns to children, young people, and mothers, and it returns again and again to grief, guilt, death, and what follows after loss. That focus gives her films a distinct emotional weight and an interest in the fragile lives of her characters.
