Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The world doesn't need another empty genre exercise. But as Blue Ruin reminds us, it can always use more filmmakers of Saulnier's resourcefulness, sensitivity and quiet assurance.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,

fresh:
With the same brand of realist irony the Coens used to cool down Blood Simple, writer-director Jeremy Saulnier slows the genre's heartbeat to gripping effect.
– Keith Staskiewicz,
Entertainment Weekly,
5 Jan 2015
fresh:
Saulnier is also a cinematographer, and he's in complete control of the film's conflation of human-scale horror and tragicomedy.
– Wesley Morris,
Grantland,

fresh:
Blair, an unheralded actor, carries the whole picture. He's in practically every scene, and his performance is fascinating because in his eyes you can see the character struggling desperately with himself.
– Soren Anderson,
Seattle Times,
8 May 2014
fresh:
Saulnier makes impressive use of silence and slow camera movements, allowing the suspense to simmer until violence seems practically inevitable.
