ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Joaquin Phoenix (HER, GLADIATOR) stars in this thrilling and exciting adventure as a veteran-turned-assassin who works to rescue and recover missing teenage girls. Told through Lynn Ramsay’s (WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, MORVERN CALLAR) brilliant perspective, and based on the novella by Jonathan Ames, "YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE is as uncompromising as films get, a kind of concentrated trip through the violent thoughts and actions of a seriously disturbed man who also happens to be the hero" (Arizona Republic).

SYNOPSIS

A traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence, tracks down missing girls for a living. When a job spins out of control, Joe’s nightmares overtake him as a conspiracy is uncovered leading to what may be his death trip or his awakening.
