Viewing Notes

I had an opportunity to see an advanced screening of Green Room from Blue Ruin director, Jeremy Saulnier. So, obviously, I went. (obvious because you saw the title of this review. and because what else am i going to do on a thursday night?) Blue Ruin was great. It was a tense revenge thriller will stellar performances (and some stabbing). Saulnier’s first feature, Murder Party, was also pretty good (and stabby). It gave viewers a glimpse into his singular artistic vision while killing off assholes in comical ways. Tonally, the former is way lighter than the latter. And Green Room pushes even darker than Blue Ruin. (if you’ve seen Blue Ruin, you may be calling bullshit right now. trust me on this one though)
