The Worst Film Ever
A Disappointing Continuation
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Englishes with a good sense of entitlement get in trouble but are still entitled to everything they find, and the people they find as well. This reminds me Le petit Prince, when the fox asked to be apprivoisé. Here, Mud and the two boys apprivoisent each other in the most natural way. The film is really holding water up to the end. However, relationships holding water since long time are them starting to sink. Add to this some mysteries, love, non-love, and a murderous vengeful gang and there is the recipe for the evening watch. Good evening.
I've been binge watching all of Reese Wither spoons movies and only watch the ones where she is one of the lead stars, so going through all of her movies i came across mud where she is one of the lead actress I was really excited also for the fact that Matthew McConaughey was in it also and he usually does great movies. So I decided to give this a watch 30 min in I go and say where is Reese the suppose girl friend of Mud and finally when she makes her appearance i was all excited but nothing happens you see her for like less then 2 min and then she only shows up 4 other times for under 2 minutes 2 throughout the film i mean come on but that's not the only reason i was kinda cheesed thee other reasons is no character development stupid story and didn't you mother teach you not to talk to strangers how slow dull and boring this movie is I had to speed it yup to be able to make it through the entire film It was that slow and nothing really special happens at the climax i just didn't care whether he lives or dies I'm just so glad this film is over and I can watch a better one
Very rarely does a film come along that enthralls from start to finish quite like "Mud". Director Jeff Nichols masterfully constructs a Tom Sawyer-like adventure story set on the Mississippi River with beautiful imagery and fascinating characters. Ty Sheridan is especially good as Ellis, the young protagonist of the film, while Matthew McConaughey continues his career renaissance as the title character. The film begins as a mystery-thriller and develops into a poignant coming-of- age story about family and relationships as seen through the eyes of a young teenager. It's pretty long and may be a little slow for the casual observer, but film lovers everywhere won't be able to look away. After the wonderfully compelling "Take Shelter" in 2011 and now with this offering, Nichols has solidified his status as one of the brightest up-and-coming directors in the industry. His films are personal, gorgeously photographed and each one has an incredible sense of place. "Mud" is his best so far and it is absolutely a great American film.
The plot is not amazingly original but the actors' portrayal of the characters made the story captivating. Especially thorough were Mud (Matthew McConaughey) and Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and their relationship.Admittedly the beginning of the movie is somewhat slow and there isn't much thinking to do than watch the plot present itself gradually. The storyline starts off for the most part with a laid-back attitude and unwavering beautiful landscape.However there is a radical shift towards the end that will make you grip your seat. At this point you fully realize how well the chemistry between Mud and the kids has been developed.There is one word that describes the overall feeling once the movie has finished and that would be "satisfying".
