Ripe

About This Movie

Ripe is a haunting exploration of survival and sibling bonds set against a stark backdrop. The film navigates the raw emotional landscape of twin sisters Rosie and Violet, who are thrust into a harsh reality after their parents’ death. The pacing can feel languid, allowing for those quieter moments where the atmosphere really settles in—those long shots of the road, the quiet desolation of the army base. The performances, particularly the chemistry between the sisters and their interactions with Pete, add layers to the narrative. There's a palpable sense of longing and desperation. It's not flashy, but it has a gritty realism that lingers, making it a unique piece in the 90s indie drama catalog.
