Full Plot Details

Balancing between feverish dreamlike hallucinations of a tormented past and a grim disoriented reality, the grizzled Joe--a traumatised Gulf War veteran and now an unflinching hired gun who lives with his frail elderly mother--has just finished yet another successful job. With an infernal reputation of being a brutal man of results, the specialised in recovering missing teens enforcer will embark on a blood-drenched rescue mission, when Nina, the innocent 13-year-old daughter of an ambitious New York senator, never returns home. But amidst half-baked leads and a desperate desire to shake off his shoulders the heavy burden of a personal hell, Joe's frenzied plummet into the depths of Tartarus is inevitable, and every step Joe takes to flee the pain, brings him closer to the horrors of insanity. In the end, what is real, and what is a dream? Can there be a new chapter in Joe's life when he keeps running around in circles?

Movie Reviews

Orlando Weekly - 10/10 by Peg AloiIn You Were Never Really Here, Lynne Ramsay's status as an artist of uncompromising originality and skill is stronger than ever.
TheWrap - 10/10 by Ben CrollFor all of its meticulous construction and often masterful craft, the film remains something to coldly admire rather than easily embrace, often playing more as a collection of accomplished filmmaking moments than as a fully enthralling whole.
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine - 10/10 by Juanma RuizJoe is, to all intents and purposes, a ghost. The camera know it, and from there our fascination to contemplate it. [Full review in Spanish]
HeyUGuys - 10/10 by Jo-Anne TitmarshAn exhilarating, tense and beautiful film.
The Skinny - 10/10 by Joseph WalshYou Were Never Really Here is a brutal, punishing watch, but every minute is a masterclass in filmmaking.
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine - 10/10 by Carlos F. HerederoThe greatest strength of the film comes from the intensity with which the face, body and movements of a magnificent Joaquin Phoenix are captured. [Full review in Spanish]
Irish Times - 10/10 by Donald ClarkeThere are multitudes in here, but not a second is wasted. It is a brash, noisy, violent picture, but it is also a subtle, intricate, thoughtful one.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 10/10 by Emily YoshidaCinematically, it’s undeniably gripping, a tightly wound contraption of nervous energy, grief, and gore. But it’s in service of a story that’s been told countless times before, and it’s not clear where Ramsay’s usually singular point of view is in play.
La Jornada - 10/10 by Leonardo Garcia TsaoThe film confirms Ramsay's status, who has not filmed enough. [Full review in Spanish]
Irish Independent - 10/10 by Paul WhitingtonWhat's interesting about this film is not so much its story as the clammy, visceral way Ramsay tells it. It's breathless, bleary stuff, pure cinema, and Joaquin Phoenix is superb in the lead.
