You Were Never Really Here (2017)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5742374/
How dare they even compare this pretentious trash to Taxi Driver?
Joe, a veteran who suffers from PTSD, is currently employed to help find and rescue runaway and missing girls, many of them the victims of human trafficking.
A premise that could had been good if told correctly but this movie sucks so bad!
The narrative is so messy and the exposure so unintelligible with quick frames of Joe's violent flashbacks which in turn takes away the pacing and momentum of the story and at the same time, destroying any little suspense and tension the movie itself was trying to create for the viewers.
Why did this movie receive
87% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes
84% approved on Metacritic
7.1 on IMDB
75% of the Google Users who've seen it liked it
*Writer-director Lynne Ramsay's masterful thriller turns the "hitman movie" genre on its ear with a fractured, impressionistic style that matches Joe's jumbled mind.
*"You Were Never Really Here" is a powerful assault of a film.
*Ramsay is at the height of her filmmaking powers here, maximizing the impact of her brutal story. Phoenix is ideally cast as a force that's unstoppable until the big case breaks his momentum.
*Director Lynne Ramsay has created an unnerving and aggressive cinematic experience.
*We do not deserve Lynne Ramsay.
This woman doesn't know how to direct a suspenseful psychological thriller.
I don't have anything against women film directors.
Some of the best directors working today are women like Kathlyn Bigelow, Patty Jenkins, Sofia Coppola.
This is director Lynne Ramsay resume:

I have never heard of her before tonight nor have I ever seen any other films she had previously directed.
Do yourself a favor and run, don't walk, run far and far away from this movie.
