Some Ruins

About This Movie

Some Ruins is a quiet, introspective drama that really captures that sense of lost potential in a relationship. Carlos and Ofelia's road trip feels intimate, filled with an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and a bit haunting. The pacing is deliberately slow, which allows for some deep character exploration. The performances are raw—there's a subtlety to their interactions that feels authentic, almost like you're eavesdropping on a real couple trying to work things out. The young couple they meet mirrors their past, adding layers to their journey and forcing them to confront who they've become. It's not flashy, but the emotional weight really lingers with you after. Practical effects are minimal, yet the cinematography captures the desolation of their surroundings beautifully.
