Ruby

About This Movie

Ruby (2018) takes you through a lens of excess and hidden depths. The film meanders through dimly lit bars, setting a somber yet intimate atmosphere. It’s all about the interplay between Ruby's vibrant, chaotic life and Manolo’s quiet, almost suffocating shyness. The pacing is a bit languid, which works well to enhance the tension as her night unfolds. The practical effects are subtle but effective, grounding the story in a stark reality. Performances are solid, with a raw quality that brings out the complexity of their characters. This isn’t just a simple meet-cute; it’s a deeper exploration of how isolation can manifest in the most unexpected ways. Definitely a unique piece within the drama genre.
