Can someone join me in appreciating this severely under appreciated actress? She's been nominated for two Oscars, but no one seems to know who the hell she is. I love her because of:

In America
Morvern Callar
Code 46

the U2 video for "Electrical Storm"

She's become my actress to look for when choosing a movie to watch.

Plus, I believe she's to be a crucial figure in the new Joy Division movie.

Go on, heap some praise.

yeh shes great, shes been in a lot of films i seem to come upon

I'm convinced Morvern Callar has changed my subconscious dramatically.

But, honestly, as long as you appreciate her, who gives a flying fuck if she's famous or not?

the first thing she ever did was something called band of gold. it was a uk tv drama about prostitutes and their lives together. it was excellent.

i was only about 13-14 when it was on and can still remember it now (i'm 27 now).

I thought Morvern Collar was the most pretensious piece of shit film I've ever seen in my life... I like Samantha Morton, but that movie was horrible. There is no reason whatsoever to care about her character and the shots throughout the whole thing was the result of some hipster filmmaker desperate to get attention.

And I just want to say that the only reason the film got some good reviews (all by men might I add) is because there's a scene with two naked chicks in a tub together.
