You Were Never Really Here is a very experimental neo-noir thriller. While the plot is very muddy, the cinematography is beautiful, very clear, and Joaquin Phoenix's performance is enthralling. The strength of the movie is it's portrayal of a man in torment from PTSD.

The flashbacks, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, and overall sense of anxiety are strikingly realistic, and the fact that we the viewer are never really sure what is real and what isn't really leaves an impression.

If you are a fan of experience movies or suspense, definitely give this one a watch.
