A traumatized veteran who specializes in tracking down missing girls. A politician’s kidnapped daughter. A conspiracy that threatens the halls of power. These could be the ingredients of a standard thriller, but director Lynne Ramsay’s latest is anything but standard. Instead, she has crafted a frenetic, disorienting spin on the revenge thriller, anchored with raw intensity by an award-winning performance from Joaquin Phoenix. Tearing through the genre’s cliches to capture its haunting emotional core, YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE is a daring, disturbing masterpiece from one of cinema’s most unique directors.
