You Were Never Really Here

2017 | 1h 29min | 6.5

Some men absorb the darkness so others don't have to.

You Were Never Really Here
6.5

Overview

Joe carries trauma the way other men carry wallets, always present, always heavy. He works the margins of society, recovering girls taken by men with money and impunity. When one rescue unravels into something far larger and more corrupt than he anticipated, the boundary between his inner violence and the outer world dissolves completely. Lynne Ramsay directs with ferocious economy, and Joaquin Phoenix gives a performance built almost entirely from silence, breath, and barely contained collapse.
