Based on the 2013 novella of the same name by Jonathan Ames, it stars Joaquin Phoenix, Ekaterina Samsonov, Alex Manette, John Doman, and Judith Roberts. He is a ghost, who drifts in and out of his jobs, face concealed by a hoodie and emanating an air of menace that automatically deflects enquiring eyes. The shots were needlessly artsy and the music score often inappropriate. I already loved it but could further appreciate it after viewing a video by screened titled " How to Show Trauma" Just watch this video and then decide for yourself. Then there is Ekaterina who has been sold as an underage sex slave to the wealthy and powerful sexual deviants such as top politicians. Ramsay does not allow us to see beyond the tight periphery of the frame.

I love travel videos set to music but i just couldn't enjoy it in this movie. I felt like I was watching a long video demonstrating Joaquin Phoenix's phenomenal acting. The acting is 10/10, the cinematography and camerawork is 10/10, but the plot is horrible and boring.

Unfortunately, You Were Never Really Here doesn't quite meet the expectations that the trailer promised - more of a slow-burning, passive crime film that doesn't ever satisfy the viewer.

He also lived his life in a way where he was somewhat untraceable. Just look at the material she has chosen thus far. However, it the slow and thoughtful burn of this film that makes it so unique and well done. Joaquin had no personality and no energy and no motive for anything.

Joe’s latest job involves rescuing a politician’s underage daughter (’s inherently violent nature, Ramsay’s approach to the violence is deliberately restrained.

Performance from Phoenix was fine, didn't have to speak much and when he did occasionally grumble it was lost in the mix. These are haunting, haunted images – for Joe, and for us. As America yet may. But it's not quite a character study and it is too enigmatic for a clearly defined thriller. Joe is also a skilled ex veteran who is permanently traumatised by his dark past. The cut of the film that played at Cannes had a few more flashbacks to Joe’s life as a soldier, but the film as it exists now treats Joe’s past almost like a dream.

I couldn't make it thru this weird for weird-sake mess.

Was this review helpful? The story is about the life of two abused and tortured souls revealed from opposite ages and genders. I hate to admit it as Phoenix is such a brilliant method actor who brings so much depth to the screen, but no, this just wasn't it for me; something was really off about it?

In the first scene, Joe is only shown in fragments: his meaty hands pick up some ominous-looking objects, a roll of duct tape, a bloody hammer.

Either that or the director needed a little me time. As they chat, his agent litters his desk with tissues bloodied from his nose.

I felt this movie was trying to be something that it wasn't; it just didn't work. Supposedly beautiful and intense.

Take blade runner 2049's slow (but awesome) pacing and slow it down, throw in an uninteresting predictable repetitive recycled plot we've seen a billion times which could have been told within 20 minutes, give the main character psychological traumatic issues and show us random crap that's going on in his mind, and you have this movie.
I also found myself wanting to fast forward because a lot of nothing happens. 48 out of 78 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? This movie is more than worth the hour and a half runtime regardless of whether or not you're typically drawn to the genre. Such a stupid movie !

71 out of 141 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Every new scene you await for is just dulled out with silence & close up camera shots, there's absolutely nothing fascinating about that when there's zero to learn from.

It's also too quiet which can create a nice effect, but in this case i found myself bored because of it. Was this review helpful?

Joe follows Williams to his country home and fights his way in, only to discover Williams with his throat slit. If you thought this was a film about a disturbed loner avenging an innocent, you got snookered. I'm not sure if critics are just paid off from companies or just completely different from the majority of the audience.

Not my cup of tea.
