10 Awesome 2018 Movies You Probably Missed

1. You Were Never Really Here

You Were Never Really Here Joaquin Phoenix
Amazon Studios

Joaquin Phoenix gives one of the best performances of his career - and that's sure saying something - in Lynne Ramsay's brutal crime thriller.

Taking familiar material and shining it through Ramsay's singular lens, the result is a dizzyingly intense, ultra-violent and psychologically potent character-driven genre effort, with Phoenix displaying full mastery of his craft.

At just 90 minutes in length it doesn't outstay its welcome for even a second, racing through some typical thriller beats - the hired gun re-examining his life amid a personal crisis, for one - yet feeling fresh thanks to its go-for-broke central performance, stunning visuals and evocative Jonny Greenwood score.
