Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Saulnier spills a lot of blood, but he's an extraordinarily responsible and appealing craftsman.
Fresh: The filmmaker works with economy and has a knack for creating a sense of foreboding, which is good because the plot is simply a working out of the old saw that violence begets violence.
Fresh: As an exercise in cinematic style, "Blue Ruin" is well worth seeing.
Fresh: You couldn't ask for a more unlikely avenger than the ill-equipped sort-of hero of Blue Ruin, and that's precisely why it's far, far more suspenseful than the typical violent revenge thriller.

Down Right Fantastic
COMPLETELY lives up to the hype. The best independent film I've seen all year, and the best thriller I've seen in a while. People will be talking about this film for years to come.
Amazing!
Superb in every way. A must see, don't hesitate. As good of an American thriller as has ever been made.
Masterpiece!!!!
A tense, fascinating, and emotional roller coaster. One of the best revenge movies I've ever seen highly recommend. Defiantly check it out.
