Tomatometer rating: 96%Gross: $977,625 This one's not so great a box office tragedy - a make-or-break film for writer-director Jeremy Saulnier, who remortgaged his house and turned to crowdfunding just so he could afford to complete it, Blue Ruin cost just $420,000 to make and recouped its budget back at the world box office, twice. The problem is that a $977,625 world gross means next to no one - in the grand scheme of things, anyway - actually saw one of the greatest revenge films in recent memory. Blue Ruin is the tale of Dwight (Macon Blair, Saulnier's best friend, who's incredibly affecting in this), a drifter seeking retribution after his parents' murderer is released from jail. What begins then plays like the blackly comic inverse of a regular revenge saga, as Saulnier takes the Indiana Jones "I'm making this up as I go along" attitude and gives it to a regular, bumbling everyman. Anyone coming to it fresh will have no idea Blue Ruin was made for so little money - for a sophomore project, it's a mesmerising, ultra-professional effort.
