Our take

After a six year absence, Lynne Ramsay returned with this stripped-to-the-bone adaptation of Jonathan Ames’ muscular novella. Featuring a powerhouse lead performance from Joaquin Phoenix, and a mesmerising Jonny Greenwood score, this enigmatic thriller is a triumph of form and psychological texture.
