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.

An interesting watch that keeps you on edge from the start, despite its slow pace. Joaquin's performance is brutal. Somehow I felt it needed a stronger ending like [spoiler] him saving a lot more girls [/spoilers].

7/10

Unfortunately, it was pretty slow.

Possible spoiler, I suppose?... [spoiler] It never quite hit a climax, like one would hope it might/would.[/spoiler]

I thought that this film was really a gem. I really appreciated that we did not know that much about the main character and the director really slow-played our discovery of him.

"McCleary said you were brutal."

Joaquin Phoenix truly is brutal in this film. He gives a fantastic performance of this quiet and unhinged man for hire. Some beautiful cinematography and one of Johnny Greenwood's best scores makes this a beautiful watch. The editing is also amazing, what they show on an off screen really made the plot vague enough that we can fill it ourselves. The whole time while watching this I was uneasy but in a good way. Lynne Ramsay has another excellent film

"Joe, wake up. It's a beautiful day."

This one will never be forgotten. Its richness lies in the silent details.

Pretty Poor. Go watch Man from Nowhere or I Saw the Devil (both 2010) to see how this type of film should be made.

Slow and not engaging.

Also think Ramsey’s directing is consistently uninspired and don’t see why she is rated.

Skip!

4/10

What a fantastic film.
The triggers and mental episodes were done so well.

And just when I thought “how do they know who he’s connected to, how do they know the guys from the shop” and a general “who are they anyway”… at the end I slid into a “was she ever really there” and maybe everyone was killed by the same one person. Maybe.
