Blue Ruin has a lot going for it. The way it depicted the sloppiness of violence especially. Overall though, I thought the story and writing in general was not weak but not brilliant either.
There's something about digital cinematography that I just don't like. Bar the way Fincher and Mann use it, I can't ever seem to like it. And when the budget needed for shooting on film, 16mm or even 35mm if you're super resourceful, isn't that out of reach, I just don't understand why anyone goes the digital route.
It was a good enough movie, made me care about what the director made next.

Who’s seen Blue Ruin?  I liked this quite a bit.  Came across it in an article about neo noir and enjoyed it.  Good pacing and the protagonist was interesting.
Not so much a fan of the other 2 movies the guy made (Murder Party and Green Room) but this one is good.
