Why this director matters
For Cinema One, Ramsay is a breadth upgrade with teeth: she is not here as homework or prestige padding. You Were Never Really Here gives the room a women-directed thriller lane where the rescue plot is only the surface; the real case is how violence lives in a body, how sound can hit harder than impact, and how a genre movie can become more brutal by refusing the usual release valve.
