I don't want to be a a contrarian but I think "You Were Never Really Here"
wasn't as awful as some of the posts portray ...

I thought Joaquin Phoenix gave a simmering, intense performance and the action scenes were satisfying. I didn't care for the subject manner and I didn't care for the ending (the imaginary coffee shop suicide and Nina's apparent psychological recovery). But overall it was suspenseful and the non-linear storytelling had me captivated.

I'm not saying it was a fantastic work of art that stands out in Hollywood history- because NOTHING these days does. But I thought "You Were Never Really Here" was good, suspenseful and the performances were good to outstanding.

Has anyone seen "We Need to Talk About Kevin"? Lynne Ramsay directed that too.

Have a great day
