BLUE RUIN (2013) - **&1/2 out of four

Directed by Jeremy Saulnier
Effective psychological/revenge thriller, with careful pacing, clever writing, and an unrelenting eye for gritty detail. The dialogue is crisp and the characterization wonderful. Only the didactic, heavy-handed ending prevents it from becoming a modern classic.
