A Refusal to Comply: The Films of Lynne Ramsay

April 28, 2021

Lynne Ramsay is a Scottish writer, editor, cinematographer, and director who has made a handful of short films and four feature films. What sets her apart from other filmmakers is simply that all of her films are amazing. This is my opinion, of course, but… it’s true.

There are commonalities found in both Ramsay’s shorts and features:

"Him" (2025) Film Review-The realities of making the grade in professional sports gets a cultism-driven, horror film makeover

"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope"). I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.
