Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017) by Scraper — 12 Jul 2018
The technical brilliance of these indie films can't make up for how detached they make the viewer feel as the main character breathes, pumps gas, drinks water, lies in bed, etc. You Were Never Really Here is a strange mixture of frenetic and molasses-slow filmmaking.
It's an interesting way to create an art picture and takes a lot of time and attention to weave together the details and cuts. But the lack of dialogue, general slowness, and how little we really know about the characters makes me lose interest.
