You were never really here (2017)

Director: Lynne Ramsay

Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Judith Roberts, Ekaterina Samsonov

A traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence, tracks down missing girls for a living. When a job spins out of control, Joe’s nightmares overtake him as a conspiracy is uncovered leading to what may be his death trip or his awakening.

I just hate these highly acclaimed, terribly slow and boring movies. For a film only 90 minutes long, it is insanely slow moving. With our hero, Joe (Phoenix) plagued by memories, the film is also very confusing at times. Ugh, this was tedious!

I can’t remember how many times I hit the forward button just to make it move a bit faster. Is there supposed to be a twist here, because the film was so completely and utterly boring that I really can’t tell? Yawn. I have no bloody idea what this film is about. This is one I’d like to forget – and probably will anyway…
