Mud (2012)
Written & directed
by Jeff Nichols this film stars Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland, Matthew
McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon. A 14 year old boy and his friend
discover a man living in a boat up a tree in the woods.
This is a coming of
age tale rooted in the Mississippi and the legacy of Mark Twain.
While there is not a huge amount that is strikingly original here it
fits solidly in as a genre piece that covers the points you would
expect well. Sometimes the story elements are sign posted a little
too clearly but otherwise this is a well made effort.
3/5
