MUD - Movie Review After watching MUD , I was reminded of a brilliant novel "The Great Expectations" by Charles Dicken which I read in my school days and was fascinated by sleepy-town , rural setting , densely forested land and deserted lonely island. Mud ,extensively shot in beautiful locales of Arkansas , is a crime-drama with a well written story , good performances and engrossing screenplay. A fugitive on a loose in a deserted island , MUD (played by Matthew McConaughey) is assisted by two young clad to evade the local police and help him reunite with his girlfriend , Juniper ( Reese Witherspoon). Directed by Jeff Nichols , MUD is a sit-back-on-a-lazy-afternoon drama which you would enjoy immensely as if you are reading a novel and pretty excited as what will happen as you turn to the next page. As the movie begin , you get completely engrossed and the time will flew. The script is very much engaging along with superb direction. Editing could have been better. Special mention to Cinematography for capturing the essence of nature so ecstatically. Matthew McConaughey gives a riveting performance as MUD. Tye Sheridan as Ellis surprises with a knockout performance. Watch him in the scene when he breaks down after knowing the story between MUD and Juniper. Reese Witherspoon is wasted in a small role. MUD is a completely different film film full of drama , teenage-crush , betrayal , friendship and love.
