Hey, you want something to drink?

I got you some water

and some sodas.

Thirsty?

Yeah, I wouldn't touch that.

It's gross.

Alright.

It's okay. It's okay.

No, no, no. No.

You don't have to do that.

I'm taking you home to your dad.

And we just have to wait here

a little while longer.

No, no, no.

I have to go.

What's your name?

Joe.

I'm finished now, Joe.

Do you know what the Mexicans

say about the Pacific?

was discovered

beneath the Tower Hotel

there for a second, then stepped off.

Votto had been dogged with

rumors of sexual misconduct...

We got him.

Joe!

Cute.

Man... you think I don't know

what the f***'s going on here?

Lynne Ramsay

Lynne Ramsay (born 5 December 1969) is a Scottish film director, writer, producer, and cinematographer best known for the feature films Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here. Her films are marked by a fascination with children and young people and the recurring themes of grief, guilt and death and its aftermath. They are low on dialogue and explicit story exposition, and instead use images, vivid details, music and sound design to create their worlds. In April 2013 she was selected as a member of the main competition jury at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. In 2015, she was named as a member of the jury for the main competition at the 2015 Venice Film Festival. more…
