Cast:
Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan (a splitting image of a young Tom Hardy), Sam Shepherd, Reese Witherspoon, Michael Shannon, Joe Don Baker
Another independent film gem from director Jeff Nichols (Shotgun Stories and Take Shelter), Mud tells the story of two teenage boys discovering a prize in the woods only to be challenged by Mud played brilliantly by Matthew McConaughey. More than that it is a story about friendship, love, courage and loyalty much in the tradition of the stories of Mark Twain with a modern overlay. The film is beautifully shot with great scenes of the Mississippi River and the daily goings-on around it. I had the honor of being invited to watch this as the opening film of the 2013 Nashville Film Festival tonight. This was filmed in 35mm anamorphic old-school so it should be watched on a big wide screen to get the full enjoyment factor and emotional impact.
