Another impressive performance from Phoenix coupled with an artsy aesthetic makes this a work that you should see. I felt uncomfortable watching it, and not many movies leave me with that feeling anymore. It's also vague enough to keep you asking questions and dissecting it long after. I'll definitely be watching this again.

Unconventional thriller, as befits Ramsay's style, but not as good as I thought it would be. Visually great, but narratively weak, and it does fall on the side of pretentious at times. Still, it is a good film, and while I don't rate is as highly as some people, it is worth a watch. But hey, what do I know anyway? I was never really here!

Extremely powerful and well shot+edited. However, this movie is not for everyone as it is not a point a to b type when it comes to story telling.

"You Were Never Really Here" is a cold and brutal revenge story that isn't for everybody. Wasn't a slow burn or the usual art house film you'd expect. The story is straight forward; we see a suicidal, possibly More

The way this movie was hyped up in the press about it being the Next ‘Taxi Driver’obviously raised my expectations and Phoenix being the Antihero ah-la Travis Brickle .

Well, did I get letdown like a disappointed kid at Xmas when he didn’t get what he expected.

If Phoenix won best actor More

I did not feel as positively about _You Were Never Really Here_ as most people seem to have, but I **do** absolutely recommend it. One of Jaoquin Phoenix's best roles, and that is about as far from small praise as it gets.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give More
