You Were Never Really Here (2018)

Joaquin mumbles and hallucinates and flashbacks his way through this film and Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood makes very loud discordant noises every now and again. Gotta love playing the volume up/down game trying desperately to hear the dialogue without being deafened immediately after (and this on a pretty good 5.1 setup). Freelance sex-trafficked-girl rescuer rescues a girl from sex trafficking but then it turns out that bigger powers were involved and she gets abducted again. I might've been a little startled by some of the lump-hammer action but I'd seen Kill List the night before so no. Phoenix does a good job of playing a damaged man in a bad situation.

"mumbles and hallucinates" seems to be his shtick. He did it in The Master, and brilliantly in Inherent Vice.
