Before he went on Robert Deniro’s talk show, Joaquin Phoenix starred in Lynne Ramsay’s dark vigilante thriller from 2017, You Were Never Really Here.

Wilson finds gentle human relationships in this brutal movie, and Ben comes to understand his unpleasant viewing experience as Ramsay’s defining statement on violence in American action cinema.
