Revenge lives within us all. While some may be able to forgive and forget, not all are so fortunate to have this capability. Blue Ruin tells the tale of a man’s return to his hometown when the murderer of his parents is released 20 years after the crimes were committed. Originally returning for his own act of vengeance, the man soon finds himself fighting to protect his abnormal family in this acclaimed thriller.
Blue Ruin seems to be captivating many of those who have been privileged enough to view it. Winner of the FIPRESCI prize at Cannes Film Festival in 2013, the film has been making its way through all of the major film festivals including Sundance and the Toronto Film Festival. It also was featured at the Chicago International Film Festival. You can check out Ruby Hornet’s review here.
The film directed and written by Jeremy Saulnier starring Macon Blair will open in theaters on April 25, 2014.
