And then they hold hands as the man dies. This culminates in his suicidal fantasy in the diner. He makes several more failed suicide attempts littered throughout the film, intersected with quick flashbacks to probable causes of his apparent PTSD. The film takes its time in transporting Joe to various locations throughout New York City, lingering on him for minutes as he waits for the train, eyes staring below the tracks. The emotional reaction to the governor and his slit throat is because Joe has reversed genders in his imagined scenes. Coming Soon. Joe’s latest job involves rescuing a politician’s underage daughter (. Maybe. Instead, this is the stunning design of You Were Never Really Here. Think about it… if Joe hadn’t taken it upon himself to lay waste on behalf of the lost, who would have? CRUSH. His flesh is so heavy and thick his emotions can't reach the surface. ’I’ve been to Paradise’ was an early 70s hit, a pseudo feminist anthem that actually talks about an empty life of being exploited by men. Ramsay's approach requires great performances. And it’s fairly funny, because I just eviscerated Joaquin Phoenix for his quiet emasculation of Jesus in the movie Mary Magdalene. I rented it again last night and fell asleep (don’t rent movies after midnight). And I believe that we see a number of institutions abusing power gravely. Before a job, he purchases a hammer, stalks his prey, waits endless hours, and then acts. He has to be. Nina was trying to put the moves on Joe in the car, right after he rescued her the first time. And what about that title? Ramsay and editor Joe Bini have cut the film down to its bare bones. Challenge accepted.
Joe seems to be getting important information about this girl Nina that has gone missing at the time, right? It's not his first time at this seedy rodeo.
It also shows how to effectively use flashbacks. He works for a private detective as a hired gun, although his preferred weapon is a hammer (as Ames explains in the novella's typically dark laconic tone: "Left very little evidence, excellent in close quarters, and seemed to frighten everyone.") Thanks Andrew, That is a great question. The senator wants his daughter back, but doesnt want to explain his guilty affiliation or rat out the governor. This is more complex than we might imagine when young and more ambitiously optimistic as we know the rules we set for ourselves, these things that keep order in our lives, are typically for our benefit. 2) The Senator’s wife probably committed suicide because she found out about her husband’s involvement. You Were Never Really Here is not a film that particularly wants you to "like" it. All of the upbeat songs in the soundtrack really threw me off!
“You Were Never Really Here” is less concerned with what Joe does or why he does it than with how it feels to be in his skin and in his head. Decent analysis but perhaps a little incomplete. Here, less is more. Okay. Senator votto is the one trying to get Nina back. Though she lost her parents through suicide and murder, found a father that would do whatever he has to do in order to protect her. But this one got bigger, and brighter, and more alive since I saw it last. Jonny Greenwood's score hums and pulses underneath, creating an atmosphere of nerve-jangling tension and dread. But right now? There are many things that make You Were Never Really Here one of the best films of the year. And it played so much everyone knew all the lyrics. But this time, she hadn’t come back. The girl with the battered face on the train platform is his old girlfriend from twenty years ago. (Also a vet.) Dead. They're outsiders. They’ve caused death. so yeah, I really liked this film. At his very best, he doesn't "show his work." Instead, he’s hoping the hitman will take care of everything. [T]his intoxicatingly stylish work is all over the place, a hot mess at times so ravishing it sends shivers down to the toes. And most importantly, it made me want to watch the film all over again. This sets the tone as to what sort of mental state he is in. Not really knowing where this downward spiral will end, and with his mother dead, he puts on his best suit and heads out into the forest to a lake. And yet, I don’t think our world that we live in is too much different from this. If she was actually a senator’s daughter pretty sure massive manhunt to find her would be underway if she was missing after daddy’s death. John mcleary is the guy who gives Joe the job.
Liked it a lot. At 90 minutes, Ramsay’s films coasts along smoothly, pulling Joaquin Phoenix’s Joe from one unsettling situation to the next. The project would be shopped to Cannes buyers. Doesn’t he seem to be doing something a bit odd with his hand there in the dark under the covers? It's tempting to say Phoenix has never been better than he is here, but that just would not be true. For such a violent movie, it was an oddly (disturbingly) touching moment. The rest of the film is soaked in anger and depression as we follow Joe, breaching topics like sex trafficking, domestic abuse, child abuse and suicide. Get the freshest reviews, news, and more delivered right to your inbox! There’s a lot going on in Lynne Ramsay’s You Were Never Really Here, and we see almost none of it. (I didn’t pick up on a tracker and his likely whereabouts he gave away himself. ’s inherently violent nature, Ramsay’s approach to the violence is deliberately restrained. Either way, there was a fallout. Cinemark He knew he could never do it while his mother was alive, but when she died, his plan was to drown himself and leave no body, thus, him never really being there. He lumbers through New York City like a some rough beast, all coiled muscles and clenched fists. Suffocating. Any thoughts on why Joe bemones the fact there are no green jelly beans then when he finds one he crushes it between his fingers rather than eating it?
Blink and you miss them. He's not self-consciously "stretching" as an actor by taking these different kinds of roles. It’s like this entire movie is an ode to systems of power gobbling up the disadvantaged and the disempowered. You Were Never Really Here definitely made me cold; it definitely took the top of my head off; that's just for starters. Ultimately, the only thing I felt after seeing the film was disorientation.
So there was answer number one to the biggest question of the ending… which was, who killed the governor and his security detail.
This is how society is. If you’d like to join me on a tour of the dark web, you might be shocked at what happens there. Whether the story makes sense or not, Phoenix puts in a terrific performance. And I haven’t seen the movie since I wrote about it. And for what? He's a closed system of trauma, nervous system flooded by flashbacks from combat experience and an abusive childhood. So thanks. But what really makes. Not as a quick way to tell the audience what is happening, but as subtle layers that change your perspective the more they are revealed. In the first scene, Joe is only shown in fragments: his meaty hands pick up some ominous-looking objects, a roll of duct tape, a bloody hammer. McCleary assigns Joe a new job: a New York State Senator, Albert Votto, has offered a large sum of money to discreetly rescue his abducted daughter, Nina. And yet, we still see everything we need to see. Incredible film. All airports still have payphones. Here’s a (very) brief and not nearly detailed enough breakdown of what was real and what wasn’t: Real: – Scenes in the present day house with Joe and his mother at the very start – Everything with Joe as a child – Everything in the military (or could be border patrol; my guess is military based on the candy bar incident) – Joe driving around, and taking local transit (specifically local, because he never leaved his town) while taking medication – Joe in the steam room, face covered with a wet cloth (once even swinging the hammer, as if the director thought people would be way too dense to figure this movie out and had to throw in a 100% give away) as he hallucinates all of the fighting, all of the kidnapped girl rescue, all of the stuff with the senator, and everything involving his psychiatrist (sorry, “handler”, as everyone here seems to call him, since nobody read this movie past the front page) beyond meeting him.
But it seems to me to be saying, look these are two very very broken people.
