Lynne Ramsay on You Were Never Really Here | Film4 Interview Special 

It's rare that you find interviews where directors/crew members actually discuss their films and not get asked stupid questions. Loved this

joaquin’s depression beard 10/10

This is the most underrated movie out there. The best film Ive seen in a long time

Stunning movie, terrifyingly beautiful. In a week when you can see Joaquin as a hit man and Jesus..

A truly masterful movie. I have been treated for PTSD (NOT military combat related). This is the first time I’ve ever seen PTSD depicted, truthfully, in a movie. The semi-hallucinations, the unbidden memories of weird details that are, “stuck,” with you, forcing themselves into the front of your consciousness; the spontaneous urges, to shout at, or just talk to the, “memories.” The broken glass of experiences, with every moment passing as a here-and-now flicker . . . Almost impossible to put into words, but made flesh, in this work of art. I will be eternally grateful that I now have something to point to, to say, “Well, since you keep asking, it feels like; it is experienced like, THIS.” And, I will know that, for the first time, someone else can get a grip on what it is, to have PTSD. I can never thank the makers of this movie enough for that. The sound design deserves a mention. Consider, the coffee pot, bubbling in the house that Joe has broken into? We hear it, before he’s even inside, and the noise of it, sets the scene, the internal tension. There were so many scenes with such clever, dynamic, use of, “noise.” It made me wonder if maybe Lynne Ramsey has, or has had, PTSD? They caught it so accurately . . .

I LOVED the little glimpses of the characters past Lynne allowed us to see. Just enough to get an idea, yet the audience have to do the work. That fork polishing scene with he and his mum? The more I think about it the more poignant it gets. Without spoiling anything, I would say it's been a small soothing ritual that kept them going.

Lynne Ramsay, you are an exceptional director, loved this film and will now follow your career.

I haven’t been genuinely moved and shocked by cinema for a long time. A really powerful film directed by one of my favourite directors

Interesting fact: Lynne Ramsay was the original first director hired to the adaptation of "The Lovely Bones". But all of a sudden Peter Jackson said he wanted to it, so the studio immediately fired her and gave it to Jackson because with his "Lord of the Rings" movies on his CV they thought with his name attached, they could sell more tickets... We all saw how "well" that movie turned out top be -,-

Oh and the "I've been to Paradise but I've never been to me" scene is genius. And very touching. And odd. And surprising. And brilliant.

Ramsay took a pulpy low-quality material and turned it into a masterpiece, thanks to her audiovisual alchemic powers. What a truly gifted (and underrated) filmmaker... Lynne, come back soon, we want more of your stuff!

This was one of thr greatest films ive ever seen

She's fantastic, and Joaquin is probably my favourite actor.

This film is a true work of art.

At some point your holding breath like phoneix when hes under water. You have no idea what direction the story is going in but you know its going to be worth the wait. So glad came across the film with huge depth.

Can’t wait to see it again tomorrow.

Just watched the movie and I really enjoyed it. Proof that you don't need blockbuster money to make a great film. Shows all Lynns skill and Joaquins immense talent. Looking forward to seeing what she does next. And fantastic to see a fellow scots lass right up there with the best!

one of the best performances from joaquin phoenix I've ever seen....i bought the book the very next day after i seen the movie....the lake scene was one of the most beautiful pieces of cinematography I've have ever witnessed with that amazing soundtrack. That scene in the senator's office Joe's face when he says "don't yell at me" and his look after was very powerful

She is a genius.

The movie is emotionally so visceral and raw , It is a mixture of Taxi Driver , Drive and Leon the Professional.

"He's ghosting his own life". Ramsey shows with that quote alone that there couldn't have been a better director for this film.

What a genuine person. Cant wait to see what she brings out again.

can someone tell Lynne Ramsay shes a genius

Watched twice. Loved like crazy. Can’t wait for Lynne Ramsay’s next project.

I love the way she crafts her films, they are so creative. Very inspiring person.

Just finished watching this for the second time, just a special film. Don't see many like this anymore.

Such anGREAT film, thank you for making it.

Beautiful, Ms. Ramsay. Your genius is beyond remarkable.

I was stunned by this film, and after it finished, I had to know who directed it. Well done Ms Ramsay ! Looking forward to more of your work.

It's a an amazing piece of work , a very watchable and engaging film .

I clutched the edge of my couch for the last 20 mins of this film

First film I saw by Lynne was Morvern Callar and it blew my mind! Watched You Were Never Really Here last night and really loved it

Huge fan from Taiwan. Love it.

I'm from argentina...cannot wait to see this one.I'm a Real fan of Lynne and Joaquin

Amazing, really powerful and moving...just so dark and raw.

Lynne is a GENIUUUUUUS!!!!!!!!!

One of the greatest films i have ever seen.

Bless you, wonderful film. Cheers.

thank you so much again

This film was quite the experience

A masterwork of cinema in every way.

Either the film gets an Oscar or Lynne does or both, not to mention best score for sure or I never watch the Oscars ever again!!

Wish there were more proper interviews available of her sitting down and talking about movies one on one with someone. Even the illusive Kubrick has a couple of audio recordings where he does this. It's such a shame we don't have more from this master.

Lynne is awesome.

terrific film

Outstanding film.

Wish that actually got a release somewhere in the UK outside London

A very beautiful film.

bless u .......o I looooooooooooooove thtat movie !!!!!! blessings to u

What a great film.

Lynne belongs to that crop of civilization who doesn't complaint but shows her work as a answer to all who doubt.. U r a visionary..a true poet..

Brilliant film.

Undoubtedly my favourite film of all time. And it is quite funny that she isn't my favourite but this is my favourite movie.

best f**king movie in a while. loved it so much. so intense, so many beatiful scenes. A Masterpiece in my opinion!

I feel like I love this film more than Lynne Ramsay does. It's like she's under selling it. To me personally.

Remember in Ratcatcher how the kid wraps himself up in a curtain and it's kind of innocent but also disturbing? Remarkable how she keeps circling back on the same images with new resonances.

I can't wait to see this, he's an amazing actor

10/10. 5 stars. Beast of a movie. Loved it. Someone needs to do this in real life. Taking out the trash.

Brilliant movie.

Still blows my mind that it was a woman that directed this film. Hope she does more in the future.

She is adorable. Must be awesome to work with her

Scottish and proud! Ya done well lass

She carries the baton.....handed to her to by Nicolas Roeg.....and accompanied by a killer Jonny Greenwood soundtrack.

I feel like if I never played hotline Miami, watched taxi driver or drive, I would have loved this movie more. Maybe it will grow on me.

She is glorious

This movie is a masterpeice. go and see it

There were any breakdowns of this movie but I picked the one with the prettiest thumbnail.

What a genius, but shes so humble!

Great great movie

I saw it in Norwich

This is definitely a second watch type movie, like most of Stanley Kubrick's films. Its a winner. Joaquin is a beast!

one of the few pices of art still made these days

Great film and no wonder

Just Watched... Weird... in an GODD WAY! Amazin Joaquin! And Grate Story, very very Good movie...

Joaquin Pheonix was amazing in the movie.

I've been trying to see.this.it hasn't been released where I live Indiana

This film is sheer brilliance, in every sense of the word. One of the greatest movies of high art ever made. In terms of a critical plot point, look at the right hand of the agent that Joe mortally wounds. On his middle finger, he wears a ring of Freemasonry. At the governor's estate, the main floor is of the checkerboard pattern, similar to what is found in every hall of Freemasonry. Actual masons use hammers in their labors. "Yes," Joe uses his father's favorite weapon of traumatic abuse, the hammer, to exact justice on those who'd rape kids, but it is no accident that it is also the chief tool and a major emblem of masons and Freemasonry. The bottom line is that this movie is trying to layout how one of the worst kinds of crime, the remorseless sexual exploitation of children, is not only covered up by governments, but is also indulged in by the elites of the world. Think Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Luc Brunel and the governments that they absolutely worked for. Isn't it beyond strange that not a single one of the elite John's who raped those children has ever been exposed, in spite of the FBI confiscating thousands of photos and videos from Epstein's estate? Those men should be officially exposed to the world, and they never will be. Those photos and videos were made for a reason, and they will be used to blackmail and control politicians, judges, lawyers, CEO's, scientists and doctors. Proof of the international nature of such horror? Look up Sir Jimmy Savile. Let's be grateful that a film as brave as this was finally made. It is as poetic as it is powerful. A must watch piece of cinema at its finest. A heartfelt "Thank you" to everyone behind this masterpiece!

Been wanting to see this in Canada since it showed at Cannes. When can I see this?

She'd have made a good mum'. Well played Ramsey, haunting. Precision.

I love her German accent. I had no idea she was Portuguese. Anyway, film looks GREAT!!

This is Joaquin Phoenix's best performance in my opinion.

dope

Masterpiece and she didnt even finish flim school 😮 Geeeeezzzz

👏👏👏👏👏

Sunday 6th March on UK tv 11pm on Film4 You Were Never Really Here

👌💓❤

Fascinating insight into Lynne's creative mind and process. I just need to find out if anywhere local is showing the film.

It's amazing how many people didn't get this movie.

Scottish accent is murdering me

This is gonna be amazing. Never had so much hype since The Matrix, wich means im leave the teahthre fucking sad and frustrated. It's just to much hype.

I'm still waiting for ratcatcher on Blu-ray criterion. What's up? Lol

"You Were Never Really Here" is most certainly not your typical film. It's very Artsy, for sure. The question of the day: Is it worth watching? Give my review a view to find out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NCqxvZyNmFM.html

I fail to parse at least a third of what she says, and -- comically -- so does this youtube automatic captions generator, lol! This video needs manually added subtitles. Seriously. I'd love to listen as she's a very good (cinematically though not narratively) director. I've seen everything she's made a liked it.

One thing she learned in mind-cash is that sometimes you have bear hands? What is she saying?

Actually it sounds Swedish sometimes, lol. Like "personal" she says "pehshnl". That's what Swedes do, " rs" is always a "sh" of some sort, like "Lars" is actually "Lash", +-...

@ 0:40, are those a bunch of dead birds toi the right of the staircase?

Or him being scared to do this to his own daughter. Or just wants to protect her and other kids regarding the same fate. Battling his inner demons, killing them. Then finally awake in the end with his mother gone. Whom he might have killed himself. Quite possibly.

Beautiful, staggering film. You have to pay attention fyi

What did the title mean? You were never really here??

Her films haunt you.
