Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017) by Lamontraymond — 05 Apr 2018

Easily one of the most original, most interesting, and most shocking films of the last several years. It reminds me a bit of the filmmaking in Good Time from last year - two films that seemed to have come out of nowhere to challenge the stale, predictable theater experience that has dulled our senses recently.

There's nothing like this. However, it is very different. And the small touches of humor were perhaps a little out of place. But if you love movies, this is a no-brainer. Do your best to avoid trailer, too, because they seem to spoil some of the best moments.

Kudos, also, to the young actor playing the girl Joe is attempting to save - excellent performance which had to be challenging.
