See more Jeff P. @jeffperu Nov 20 You Were Never Really Here follows Joe, a man deeply scarred by his past who now works to rescue victims of exploitation. When he takes on a dangerous job involving a missing girl named Nina, he becomes entangled in a world of corruption that threatens to break what little stability he has left. The film uses Joe’s mission as a window into the trauma he carries and the lengths he will go to protect someone who cannot protect herself. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a remarkable performance. He conveys so much emotion through silence and subtle expression that you feel every ounce of Joe’s internal struggle. His presence controls the screen from beginning to end. The movie uses sound design and suggestion to emphasize violence rather than show it outright, which makes the experience even more unsettling and impactful. The film’s visual style and direction perfectly match its heavy and disorienting tone. It chooses to drop the viewer straight into Joe’s reality without much setup, which can feel confusing at first. The story leaves several elements open to interpretation and some transitions feel abrupt, but those choices also reflect the fractured state of Joe’s mind and keep you fully immersed in his perspective. It is a dark, intense, and haunting film that sticks with you. Even with its unconventional storytelling, it is absolutely worth watching for the atmosphere, the bold filmmaking, and Joaquin Phoenix at his best. 80/100 See more TrueBlueReview I. @TrueBlueReview Nov 9 A sort of Taxi Driver 2.0, gritty and satisfying. A noir for the modern times. Joaquin Phoenix is excellent as haunted veteran and hired reclaimer of an abducted girl, caught up in a web of money and corruption. I really appreciated this film. See more Garrett K Nov 7 Do not watch this movie it is a complete waste of time. I do not know how it got such high reviews. It’s hard to follow and the lines between what’s real and imaginative are blurry the whole movie. Then it just ends. No explanation. See more Debra T. @DebraT Nov 5 Interesting plot, well directed, great pacing, and fabulous lead performance. See more K. S. @Kramer Oct 27 This movie made me want to throw up and not in a good way.
