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
