Rubi

About This Movie

Rubi is a raw exploration of trauma and survival, really. The film starts with this shocking and brutal opening that sets the stage for everything that follows. The pacing is uneven at times, but it mirrors Rubi's own fragmented state of mind after the horrific events. The atmosphere is heavy, dark woods contrasting with her inner turmoil as she recovers under Uncle Jed's care. Performances are gritty and unrefined, particularly from the lead. Henry, the adopted son, adds layers to the story, bringing tension and a kind of reluctant alliance. It's distinct for its practical effects and a haunting score that lingers long after the credits roll, leaving you with a sense of unease and reflection on vengeance and healing.
