Plods along slowly. Eventually stuff happens to characters you barely know, or care about. You check the time a lot, wondering if it will ever get interesting. Moments before the end something finally does. Just kidding. It doesn't. I can see people tried, but sadly they failed.

It's directed well,acted wonderfully and looks beautiful but it leaves you a bit empty.I think it's a classic example of style over substance.Stylistically brilliant but emotionally empty.

Joaquin Phoenix is the best part of the movie, a dark and realistic performance. He's like a modern day Travis Bickle from 'Taxi Driver'(1976), a suicidal anti-hero that tries to save a young girl's life. I really enjoyed the music and the score of the film. Lynne Ramsay's directing was real good by showing us how the main character is feeling with very limited dialogue. I thought the pace of the movie was a bit too slow which left me bored at times. A brutal character study in a violent world.

Patient takes, unique cinematography, and interesting focus turns this from a just another in a long line of old-man-vigilante-takes-on-organized-crime action films into a brooding arthouse picture. Creatively and atypically done.

It's a seen-before premise but you don't really notice because of the unique and masterful craftsmanship (the plot is thin but in an engaging, albeit slightly hard-to-follow way: the visual, in-between-the-lines storytelling is refreshing; the camerawork and editing are consistently creative-loved that taxi title) and strongly written and acted protagonist (the parallel drawn between him and Nina, both just trying to wait out the pain of their existence, is a moving one-see the lake scene).

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 little showmanship here that doesn't serve to place the viewer inside Joe's scarred headspace; jarring edits add a traumatic edge to flashbacks and scenes of everyday 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 twisted neo noir film is very ambitious and has a heavyweight like Joaquin trying to lift it off, but despite a correct cinematography and acting you can’t overcome the poor script and storytelling.

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.
