A veteran with PTSD from various sources is committed to bringing the missing daughter of a politician back.
A powerful film about trauma and contradictions (weaknesses that coexist with almost incompatible strengths) that mixes "real" images with hallucinations and memories seamlessly. Visually impressive, with an original audio accompaniment reminiscent of Drive and The Guest at times, You Were Never Really Here leaves a strong emotional imprint. With different effects on the audience (I heard complaints about its slowness while I personally thought it felt like a short full feature film), it is definitely not a movie that can be easily forgotten. The exceptional interpretation of Joaquin Phoenix represents a large part of the emotional weight of the film.
