ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

leethomas-11621 Thoroughly enjoyed how this movie never let itself be tied down - always surprising you. But for me the violence especially around the teenagers is difficult to accept as what seems to be part of their normal lives. Truthful in parts of America? Yes but just to see it on screen is shocking and hard to take. Why is the violence exaggerated so? Reminded me at times of an adult version of Huck Finn. Beautifully made film in all departments.

sergelamarche 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.

clock_me 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

jaydeetee-19255 A teenage boy, who lives with his struggling parents on an old houseboat on a river in Louisiana, and his best friend discover an old boat resting in a tree on a nearby island. The boys, looking for adventure, decide to take owner-ship of the wrecked boat, only to find that a stranger, a man named Mud has other ideas about that boat. Mud (played by Matthew McConaughry) tells the two boys about his early life there in the same Louisiana locale, and about his love for the pretty girl he fell in love with in his youth. He then asks them to help in restoring the boat so that he can re-unite with his first love. The boys are at first apprehensive, but one of them, love struck with a girl a couple years older than himself, decides to help and his friend relents and goes along with the plan. They soon discover that Mud is a man on the run, but they still continue to assist him in his quest. This is a little coming-of-age tale with enough warmth and suspense to make a viewing well worthwhile. The cast is excellent, and the sense-of-place is near perfect.
