You Were Never Really Here

Is there anything really here?

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.

It stars really well but looses momentum as it goes; by the end it's just an ordinary movie.

Beautifully shot but incomprehensible plot movement.

So withholding that it's hard to just point at any one thing and say - thats the thing! But all the smaller moments accumulate into a really powerful film. Scene on floor singing is probably 'that moment' tbh

A great film. I really liked Joaquin Phoenix in this film. A very tense watch, because of several mysterious occurences that unravel themselves as the film goes on. The janky music fitted well.
