Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017) by Renovatia — 07 Jan 2019

Slow movie, clap trap, aiming at winning prizes, and it did win some. The movie is a slow burning movie where the protagonist is shown to do nothing for too long far too often. That's artsy it and critics love it. It's a story of a hardened but messed up Gen-x man saving little girls from abductions and being used.

It's a very tame movie, nothing happens but some shaky-cam fight scenes and staring at the protagonist doing nothing of interest because - again - that's artsy. More importantly, it's a paper thin movie; Tough son of a gun saves cute teen girl. Does most of the time nothing, does a bit of investigation and saves a girl. End of movie. Standing ovation. Wins prizes. Critics write raving reviews.

Also, considering the fact that Hollywood and their faux indie community are infested with pedos, it's eerie to watch a movie about this produced by them.
