Paolo Simeone's rating of the film You Were Never Really Here
Paolo Simeone

A Korean revenge movie deprived of all twists. There's probably no longer anything to say in the genre and the director makes it minimal on purpose, giving hints of the psychology and the motivation of the main character just by flashing here and there his past.
