"You Were Never Really Here" (2017) Directed by Lynne Ramsay

Following the re-release of my original rambling musings on 2011’s We Need to Talk About Kevin I confessed to seeing and loving director Lynne Ramsay’s fourth cinematic creation on or near its 2017 release date, and vowing to add my thoughts immediately to my career appreciation blog article for the Glasgow born filmmaker.

So nearly six years later, here are those thoughts on a genre defying beauty of a film that I re-watched on a cold Friday night into an early Saturday morning this week and I’m pleased to report that I still loved it (though not as much as We Need to Talk About Kevin), the ending is still spectacularly satisfying (a rarity for me) and Joaquin Phoenix’s performance is still as mesmerising as I remember it to be.

Which naturally goes without saying.

Naturally.
