The second title is a relatively small, American independent picture called “Blue Ruin.” Director Jeremy Saulnier has created an incredibly effective, low-key revenge thriller about Dwight Evans, a disheveled, quiet vagrant struggling through life after his parents’ murder. After being informed by the police that the alleged murderer is being released from prison, Dwight sets forth to avenge his lost loved ones. When things turn grim, he must protect his estranged sister from the rival family’s retaliation.
