Ruthless captures a slice of 1970s Northern Ireland with a rawness that's hard to shake off. The backdrop of political unrest intertwines with a boy's yearning for a Glam Rock album, creating this tension between the innocence of youth and the chaos of the world around him. The atmosphere is thick, almost palpable, as the music serves as both a refuge and a rebellion. Pacing is intentional, allowing moments to breathe—just like the memories that linger long after the credits roll. Performances are understated yet powerful, drawing you into a personal struggle set against a larger backdrop of societal turmoil. It’s not just a story about music; it’s about finding solace amidst the noise.
