14) You Were Never Really Here (2017)

You Were Never Really Here is minimalist, haunting storytelling about revenge and trauma. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Joe, a former soldier turned hitman who rescues young girls from trafficking rings. In this film, when a job goes horribly wrong, Joe's dark past starts to resurface, and the hunt for the responsible parties turns into a brutal personal reckoning. It is a raw, emotionally devastating performance by Phoenix, combined with the slow-burn storytelling of Lynne Ramsay.
