"Switching from that to a small indie movie, a Lynne Ramsay movie called Ratcatcher — I just think it’s a masterful piece of filmmaking. I mean, there’s Taxi Driver, there’s Raging Bull… there’s even — I love King of Comedy. Then there’s Kubrick; the list goes on and on. So there’s many, many, many — but off the top of my head, that would be five."

"Jeremiah Zagar, the director of We the Animals, gave us some films to watch to prepare for our shoot. This was one of them. I fell in love with it. I remember thinking Lynne Ramsay really captured boyhood and youth. The cast, full of first-time actors, is incredible, especially the young leads. I want to see more films like this in the world."

"When I was starting to think about making my own films, it was always Lynne Ramsay who I would turn to. I think she is an incredible filmmaker and one of the greatest we’ve ever had in the UK. I would watch this film endlessly, amazed by the composition, the sound design, the naturalistic acting. It is also beautifully emotional. I still put it on in the background when I write, in the hope of some inspiration. I met her briefly at an awards party last year, and I was stupidly overexcited."

"Lynne Ramsay is the best. Ratcatcher is by far the most influential film in my life. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it. The Criterion DVD is great because three of her shorts are on it, and they’re just mind-blowing. What first knocked me out about her was not only the way she dealt with naturalism and nonactors but also the way she made me aware of the film frame. In her short Gasman, she cut people’s faces out of the frame so that you would see them slowly emerge as characters—she created human beings out of pieces and fragments. It completely changed the way I thought about framing. I gave Ratcatcher to every single close collaborator on We the Animals."
