Your support makes all the difference.Today we bring you a clip from a pivotal scene in We Need To Talk About Kevin director Lynne Ramsay's brutal new thriller, You Were Never Really Here.
The film, scored by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, sees a hulking Joaquin Phoenix play a contract killer on the brink of suicide who gets hounded by a major crime ring after a hit goes wrong.
In the clip, Phoenix's protagonist, Joe, offers his services to a man whose child has been kidnapped.
"[They] told me you were brutal," the man said, to which he replies coldly: "I can be."
An excerpt from The Independent's 4-star review:
'This is a stunning, gut-punch of a film though, technically adept and masterfully acted it thumps others of the genre into mush, showing that a Taken-style story needn't be redundant of art.'
You Were Never Really Here is in cinemas from Friday 9 March.
