Saw the trailer for this a couple of days ago & it is right up my alley. Always liked Joaquin. This looks good.

Still can't shake the mental hiccup where I keep assuming this is a sequel to "I'm Still Here".

Looking forward to this,I’m away at the weekend or I’d be away to see it but next week all being well....looks very good.

Anyone see this yet? I've only found it playing in one theatre in Chicago. Getting harder to see this indie pictures man.

It's supposed to expand nationwide on 4/20.

It’s a must see!

Saw a trailer for this today in theaters, looks amazing. Probably my most anticipated movie at the moment now.

You Were Never Really Here
(first-time viewing)

It's a challenging film that's not for everyone, very disturbing and very very well done. The sound design is very effective and goes well with the dreamlike / nightmarish world that the characters inhabit where you don't know what's reality and what's hallucination and what's a memory. Your not entirely sure what's happening and it builds in tension just right. The sound design and Jonny Greenwood's score makes you feel the disorientation the Joaquin Phoenix's character experiences throughout the film. It puts you on edge to push you in this world. Joaquin Phoenix gives a performance that just inhabits in the sadness, torment and the confusion of his character Joe that's in great pain and when the pain comes out he's capable of great brutality and amazing gentleness and it believable. You understand why he is that way he is and its fascinating to watch. The director Lynne Ramsay's storytelling techniques are amazing in that she gives you what you think you're gonna get from a movie like this but sorta pulls the rug out from under. She's smart about not giving in to kind of audience desire for typical Hollywood action. Whenever there's is actual violence its either really horrific or barely shown, for example you'll see security camera footage at a distance of Joe taking out this guy or that guy or sequences where you get what would be the seconds after violence has occurred. She makes it more psychological, more about his struggles in this world without making it exciting.

This looks great. Hope we don't have such a long wait until Lynne Ramsay's next movie.

PBateman87 · 04-12-2018, 02:26 PM

Really hoping this one comes to my area, if this movie really is expanding to more screens on 4/20. I've been checking my Fandango app since April 6 and it's frustrating to see the nearest showing is in New York City, 3 hours away from me! I love Lynne Ramsay and Joaquin.

RedbeardS · 04-12-2018, 03:32 PM

See this on a big screen if you possibly can. As with all of Ramsay's movies, the story is told through sound and visuals. Any peripheral distractions will subtract from the total experience.

Another thing -- why are there two different "official threads" on this film? I was enjoying a great conversation over on the other thread and just discovered this one after reading Brian Orndorf's unenlightened review. This film is a masterpiece, and any critic who gives it a "meh" -- especially one who purports to be a fan of Ramsay's -- is clueless about art cinema. This is a perfectly-formed movie, a genre sketch suited to a 90-page pulp novella. It has all the depth it needs. Any more plot or character development would've thrown the narrative off-balance. Best film I've seen in years.

Ant1010 · 04-12-2018, 03:35 PM

pretty good movie but at an hour and 30 mins it felt a little too thin for what it was. Plot seemed rushed and it was my biggest issue with this. Another 20-30 mins of film could have made this so much better
