You Were Never Really Here

Utterly bizarre and marvellous film. It’s about a hitman called Joe who lives with his mother, he’s engagingly played by Joaquin Phoenix. Thing is that his past is always with him, as is normal, but this seems to skew his world view somewhat. We have then this mix of violence and the surreal as Joe travels through his waking dreams. Lynne Ramsay as ever weaves a delicate and beautifully balanced film, she and the novelist Jonathan Ames are such a wonderful storytellers, this is sublime. Even though I’m not sure of what I’ve maybe seen.
