Ruins

About This Movie

So, 'Ruins' is this quietly haunting drama by Benoît Duvette that really digs into the psyche of these two boys as they, uh, run away together. The atmosphere is heavy—there’s this palpable sense of isolation. You feel the weight of their internal struggles as they navigate the night; it’s almost like the darkness is a character itself. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with their emotions and fears. The performances feel raw, unrefined at times, which suits the story perfectly. It’s all about those intimate, almost mundane moments that turn into something profound. Plus, the practical effects used to depict their emotional states? Subtle yet striking. There’s a quality to it that lingers long after the credits roll.
