“With dialogue, people say a lot of things they don't mean. I like dialogue when it's used in a way when the body language says the complete opposite. But I love great dialogue... I think expositional dialogue is quite crass and not like real life.”

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.
