You Were Never Really Here

I know I saw this movie. I think I saw it. I’m not sure I remember it all. Does that mean it’s unmemorable? What I DO remember is the way the movie plays with dreams and memory. It’s kind of an "unreliable narrator" mind-fuck with fancy, stylistic editing to… I don’t know… convey confusion? Joaquin Phoenix plays Liam Neeson – a guy who rescues kidnapped girls – which he does by beating the fuck out of people in a potboiler that devolves into a sequel to The Raid. I can’t remember how it ended. Did it end?
