Just really good story development. Great acting from really undervalued actors. A real raw aesthetic. Fun film
A rather understated revenge film. Captures the attention right from the start & doesn't let go. Has its flaws, but it's extremely effective
First movie I’d seen by Jeremy Saulnier, blown away. More on the drama/slow burn side, but genuinely great story telling.
Disturbing revenge film, great slow-burn, unique approach to storytelling
Realistic crime thriller and darkly hilarious. Kinda like a Safdie brothers movie, watching everything fall apart in a fun, satisfying way.
Blue Ruin grabs you from the get - and forces you to endure until you finally submit at the end. Incredibly well-shot and acted.
Pure simple filmmaking. Taut revenge story with realistic actors in realistic roles. No Hollywood studs killing 200 people. Bless the studs
One of the best low, gritty thrillers ever made
An amazing and visceral experience! 10/10
honestly incredible. takes the overuse of revenge and runs with it, it does an incredible job telling its story. worth a watch no doubt
