A minimalistic thriller with a hypnotic lead performance and an unnerving Johnny Greenwood score, or the answer to: what if Taken was more like Drive?

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 noise 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 flourishes — to reconstruct the headspace of a character whose daily rhythms have been shattered by an inescapable bombardment of emotion.

The devil is in the details throughout YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE, a film that addresses the modern mania for middle-aged vigilantes by immersing the viewer in the headspace of a deeply troubled man. It's discomfiting, downbeat...and terrifically cinematic, as filmmaker Lynne Ramsay casts a critical eye on the ethics of righteous violence. We are meant to question, not enjoy--a strategy that doesn't make for a particularly straightforward or endearing film, but rather, a fascinating one.

No complaints. In fact, everything about this was excellent, especially the production. The editing and/or directing was possibly masterful. Great job by Joaquin Phoenix and Ekaterina Samsonov.

You Were Never Really Here is not for the faint of heart: it deals with sex trafficking and child exploitation in a more urgent, immediate way than any other film I have seen. Joaquin Phoenix gives an excellent performance as a haunted victim and Iraq veteran that when paired with Lynne Ramsay’s unique lens shows the effects abuse and PTSD can have on a person. Perhaps the most chilling part of the film is how sad it is that the events of this film do not seem out of the realm of possibility.

There's a shot in the first season of Stranger Things where the camera is descending a staircase. It approaches some open rails on the side and then impossibly goes through them. It made me think, "Wow, that was a cool shot." And like that, I was out of the story. While impressive, it was needlessly flashy to the point of being distracting. Every individual aspect of this film, every single one of them barring maybe the acting, is exemplary of this. I was 100% against the Greenwood score.

A nightmare filled with trauma that appealed to me through character and the daunting noise. It has this atmosphere filled with torment that feeds the thrill in this production.

incredibly slick sound, editing, mood, vibe. very cool. would've been a tier higher, but I just felt that, in this movie about a war vet with PTSD saving girls from a pedophile prostitution ring by killing dudes with a hammer, they just held back. sure, there were some great moments, but I was expecting like, saulnier or safdie levels of awfulness. I didn't want to see more kids getting abused or anything, but the violence could've been gnarlier or something, idk.

Didn't find it remotely as affecting as any of Ramsay's other work, but does offer moments of her signature orgasmic merging of sound and image. Jonny's score is fantastic. I found the final five minutes pleasantly anti-cathartic, and the final scene in particular is a powerful mini-existential statement. Please keep making movies, Lynne Ramsay.

GREAT acting, GREAT soundtrack, GREAT story, GREAT new kind of movie, GREAT PHOENIX! The pacing was very slow and some things were very graphic (others not graphic at all as a funny twist). The slow pace started to annoy me at the end though. I was left with the feeling that this could have had a better final 20-30 minutes.
