My opinion : You Were Never Really Here is a 2017 psychological thriller crime drama film written and directed by Lynne Ramsay. Based on the 2013 book of the same name by Jonathan Ames, it stars Joaquin Phoenix, Ekaterina Samsonov, Alex Manette, John Doman, and Judith Roberts. A traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence, tracks down missing girls for a living. When a job spins out of control, Joe’s nightmares overtake him as a conspiracy is uncovered leading to what may be his death trip or his awakening. A movie few people got to see that left me thinking about it more and more, it’s meaning, symbolism and what not. Most people would find the film disappointing but honestly this is a movie that demands to be rewatched again and again, and that is what makes this difficult movie stand out. I liked it the more I thought about it and honestly i’d give it a 8.0/10
