MudIt scores highly and stands alone on its eerie perspective on conveying a tale to the viewers along with its all mixed up genre feature that hardly settles on an answer. Mud is profoundly written, explicitly executed and has some genuine dreadful characters that are given enough room to justify themselves on the plot offering enough range for the actors too to perform majestically. Jeff Nichols is brilliant in both of his job i.e. writing and directing and has an amazing cast star like Matthew McConaughey who is supported by brilliant kids and Michael Shannon and Sarah Paulson that helps him sail off this boat safe and easy to the shore. Mud; as said earlier, doesn't fit in a genre and hence helps the script to be unpredictable till the end leaving the audience mesmerized but has a bit of a trouble on its pace which is quite slow and it factors in a lot considering it is of more than 2 hours.

Captivating, Endearing, Believable. Great acting, and storytelling. Moments of powerful emotion in this piece of drama. Simple yet remarkable. Multiple different angles can elevate a simple story; Love and Friendship. Maybe a modern classic.It is not some an action movie, but a drama with Metaphors about humanity, life experience, conflict and love. So please, if you complain about movies are just turning in to superficial story and special effects, Go SEE THIS MOVIE, and support it.McConaughhey start his journey of great performances yet to come, like Mud, Rust;True Detective, and Ron in Dallas Club."it's hard, do not to knowing where you come from" - Mud

Two young boys encounter a fugitive and form a pact to help him evade the vigilantes that are on his trail and to reunite him with his true love. Mud is a film that really surprised Matthew McConaughey and Tye Sheridan gave 2 really great performances and the drama really worked a lot it also had a pretty cool 3rd act it kinda changed since the first and 2nd act were more slower and dramatic and as a whole the cast did a pretty good job some maybe they needed a bit more backstory and the pacing to be a little bit faster but still really good movie with great performances and it really worked well in the end for me i'll give Mud an 8/10.

The least we can say is that director Jeff Nichols did a very good job with Mud. Even though it's longer then two hours it's a very enjoyable drama to watch. One where you won't get bored for a second. The cast is outstanding. Matthew McConaughey is the main character because the movie is called after him, and he did an excellent job with his character, but what I will remember the most is the excellent acting from the two youngsters Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland. Their innocent characters, ready to believe anything Mud tells them, and helping him getting his love life sorted out, makes Mud a drama that you watch with full attention. The rest of the cast fits perfectly well in the story. A story well written that deserved to be watched at least once. Looking forward to watch more movies from Jeff Nichols.
