The Ruby (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Intan is a teenager with nowhere to go. When she seeks shelter in a crumbling Chinatown hostel, she meets an old man who seems to live in the shadows. As Intan tries to survive among the hustlers and dreamers of Kuala Lumpur, they strike up an unlikely friendship and she learns more about the hostel’s secret past. But she still needs to face up to what she’s running away from.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
