I like artsy movies. I like movies that make me think outside the box a little. I was hoping this would be one of them. However, at the halfway point of the movie I really, REALLY had to talk myself into watching the second half of this flick. Sometimes bad movies have decent endings a la Den of Thieves. I was hoping for that with this one.
NOPE!
You Were Never Really Here seemed to go on longer than the extended cut of Dune, but it was less than an hour and thirty minutes. I even sat through the credits because I thought there might be something else at the end. Whoever wrote the review "It leaves you wanting more" hit the nail right on the head. I was definitely wanting more...like a plot and some acting and something remotely faster than the crippled snail's pace that this movie offered. I went through here and read a lot of the reviews, and almost all of them were 3 stars or less, so I'm not sure how the overall rating on this thing is a 7.1?? Yeah, I really lost 90 good minutes of my Friday night.
On the upside, I will say this: If a doctor ever tells me that I only have 90 minutes to live, I'm going to watch this movie again...because it lasts FOREVER!
