In You Were Never Really Here, Joaquin Phoenix plays Joe, a traumatized veteran who tracks down missing girls for a living. You Were Never Really Here is directed by Lynne Ramsay and based on the book of the same name by Jonathan Ames. Ramsay’s last film We Need to Talk About Kevin was as stellar and unsettling as they come. She’s an exciting filmmaker, and despite an April release of her film, will be talked about during awards season this fall.

My only caveat is that I didn’t watch this trailer until after I saw the movie. I watched about 10 seconds just to see what it was all about and I turned it off. I knew I was in. Having said that, it’s not that the trailer ruins the movie, my viewing experience having not watched the trailer was great. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
