Mudbound Audience Reviews

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
851222 Greetings from Lithuania.Watching "Mudbound" (2017) is like reading a great novel - it sucks you in and like a great novel never lets you out until the last page. "Mudbound" (2017) is a superb movie.Directing was superb. acting was more then solid - it was just outstanding by simply everyone involved. But the real thing for which this movie is not to be missed out is the story and the screenplay. Its a very plausible, realistic, absorbing, touching and deep story that i have no doubt has happen thousands of times before, unfortunately. Overall, while "Mudbound" isn't a perfect movie, its running time 2 h 10 min run like a minute for me. Great craftsmanship, amazing acting and superb story superbly written, this is one of the best movies of 2017. Great movie.
joakimls Not many films delivers such a touching story. 10/10 should watch
namashi_1 'Mudbound' is a yet another Hollywood Saga based on the backdrop of racism & racial violence back in the times of World War II. While the narrative isn't rock-solid, The Stunning Cinematography & Superb Performances, almost make up for it.'Mudbound' Synopsis: Two men return home from World War II to work on a farm in rural Mississippi, where they struggle to deal with racism and adjusting to life after war.'Mudbound' isn't an easy watch. The racism depicted here, like many other engrossing Hollywood Sagas, truly hits you. The final moments of 'Mudbound' are brutal & unsettling & that's exactly the impact its maker intend to leave us with. Racism is an act of cruelty & inhumanity & IT MUST be condemned to this day, be it threw movies, books, speeches or protests, it needs to end.Dee Rees & Virgil Williams' Oscar-Nominated Adapted Screenplay (based on the novel of the same name by Hillary Jordan) offers some powerful moments as well as a truly harrowing end, but it also fumbles in parts. The sub-plots aren't very impressive & the first-hour, in particular, lacks aim. Its only when the war-heroes return, is when 'Mudbound' takes flight, before that, its a slow-moving slog that's headed to nowhere. Dee Rees' Direction is impressive, though. Rachel Morrison's Cinematography is the highpoint of 'Mudbound'. Morrison, the first woman ever Nominated for Best Cinematography in Oscar History, gives us visual poetry. Each & Every Frame of 'Mudbound' has a story to say. Her work is simply flawless! Mako Kamitsuna's Editing is also nicely done.Performance-Wise: Carey Mulligan, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Clarke, Jason Mitchell, and Mary J. Blige, all are in top-form. Mulligan is extraordinary as a woman torn apart between two men, delivering a richly realized performance from start to end. Hedlund is excellent as a War-Hero who returns home unsettled. Clarke does a fine job too as a man who dedicates his life to his family. Mitchell is wonderfully controlled, also as a war-hero, whose return to his hometown reminds him the color of his skin & his limitations in life. J. Blige, in an Oscar-Nominated Performance, uses her eyes to convey an array of emotions. The rest lend very good support.On the whole, 'Mudbound' isn't entirely compelling, but when it works, it really does.
SnoopyStyle Henry McAllan (Jason Clarke) and his long suffering wife Laura (Carey Mulligan) with their kids live on his father Pappy (Jonathan Banks)'s dirt poor Mississippi farm. His brother Jamie (Garrett Hedlund) returns from the war as a bomber pilot. The Jacksons (Rob Morgan, Mary J. Blige) have worked for the family. Their son Ronsel Jackson (Jason Mitchell) also returns from the war.The inciting incident happens midway through the movie. It needs to happen sooner. The first half meanders too much leaving the movie with a grinding pace. The second half of this over two hours movie is much more compelling as the characters' relationships are expanded. The friendship between Ronsel and Jamie is the heart and the soul of this movie which only arises after the incident. There is some muddy beauty in the cinematography. It is effective work from filmmaker Dee Rees.
