This film doesn't have action, it has violence. Joaquin Phoenix smushing jelly beans is probably a weird(er) form of ASMR to someone

this film like a jejune combination of drive and taxi driver and it says nothing new. these trauma flashbacks almost gave me cancer. they are extremely generic to create a psychological perspective. and that vigilante story, you can't follow it. because the camera preclude the story at any moment. you were never really here is one of the biggest wrecks in 2017. except its dark atmosphere and phoenix, there's nothing right in this.

Ramsay's directorial flair is displayed front and center, but there is no showmanship here that doesn't serve to put us inside Joe's traumatized headspace; jarring edits bring out the trauma of memories and day-to-day life, while the violence is alternately in-your-face and out-of-focus, creating an unreliable disconnection from it. Phoenix is fantastic here and Greenwood is in top form, delivering a discordant, polyrhythmic soundtrack that greatly adds to the unease.

Don’t get it; don’t get the hype surrounding it. Long stretches of nothing, mumbled dialogue, sudden bursts of violence, repeat. Feels like reheated Drive leftovers.

What it jettisons deliberately in terms of narrative and character it more than makes up for in its other departments. Visually and audibly it’s so immersive I was left utterly suduced by the experience. So much happens off screen, so much is communicated to the viewer with small visual cues, it’s an absolute masterclass from Ramsey.

Ramsey works overtime to convey this troubled character's trauma induced psyche through a careful modulation of image and sound, but to what end? None that I could see. It's a slick technical exercise that benefits from the presence of Phoenix, and there are a few good moments, but the genre elements are contrived, and it's inferior to what Refn and Van Sant have done with these lonely-isolated man modern arty tropes. In other words, it's more like Drive meets Paranoid Park than Taxi Driver.

In which the title refers to the ephemeral nature of existence itself, our haunted protagonist able only to assert his corporeality through acts of brutal physical violence, portrayed so elliptically that we're left only with the broken bodies of broken men he leaves behind. Use a hammer, and every problem looks like a nail, but what happens when there are no nails left to pound? Ramsay's grasp of her haunting aesthetic is more acute than ever, and Phoenix may be the best actor alive.

This film creates an elegiac atmosphere, in which our protagonist loses himself, living as if he is already dead. This sleepwalking, the transitory, dreamlike nature of his activities, is readily identifiable as a hallmark of modernity, as a rejection of its horrors, reified here as horrific, unrepentant abuse.

Well made, cruel, dark. Important themes. Great production, great acting. But somehow when all mixed together the movie did drag a bit and there is always this feeling that something is missing. A mediocre movie that tries to sell itself for a bit more than it is.

Tension permeates nearly every frame of this film. An intimate, yet strangely detached glimpse into the mind of a man that is, at least to himself, well beyond the point of any sort of redemption. I got hints of "Funny Games", as Ramsay implies violence rather than showing it overtly; you expect a certain something from this movie, but do you really want to see it? Or perhaps, are you here to see kids being saved, or bad guys getting some street justice? Either way, you won't be disappointed.

Bad trip intensifies. An oh-so-sensorial modern day Taxi Driver -- he saves a girl from sex traffickers and later goes after a government candidate, come on -- that tries to be immersive, philosophical and even kind of experimental into a man's tormented mind and memories. Nothing really works besides Phoenix.

It looks like a cheap TV show that struggles to appear artsy, and this alone makes it ridiculous. All of these sudden flashbacks, disorientating changes of locations, poorly performed violence, irritating noises just mess up what's already fundamentally flawed. Also, that "visual storytelling" instead of an actually interesting story got an award for best screenplay at Cannes, but I just can't figure out why.

Tells a familiar story of vigilantism and vengeance, though feels remarkably different not just because of the predictability lessening as the story goes on, but also how audaciously and uniquely it's told. The story is so clear and the editing is so precise (flashbacks can last up to five seconds at a time), that there's enough room for a wider mood introduced through the immense details of every perfectly captured and edited shot. Ramsay, Phoenix, and Greenwood elevate this to heavenly highs.

I didn’t think it was amazing, but it was really good. I’ve been anticipating Lynne Ramsay’s follow-up to We Need to Talk About Kevin for a while now, and while this wasn’t as good, it shows she’s still got it. Her direction is excellent, if slightly pretentious at points. Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic, of course. Jonny Greenwood’s score is really cool, too. I liked that the film often avoided becoming obvious with its story. Recommended.

Brilliantly directed, technically first-rate; Phoenix is typically excellent. Script is imperfect but intriguing. Wonderful ending.

YWNRH is to trauma as We Need to Talk about Kevin is to guilt and Morvern Callar is to grief: the use of formal technique — playing with temporality and ambiguity, discordance of different forms of sound and visuals, surrealist and grotesque flourishes — to reconstruct the headspace of a character whose daily rhythms have been shattered by an inescapable bombardment of emotion.
