Review For Movie Mud
For at least three-quarters of the way, this is a fine film, and one that kids and parents could see together.David Thomson-The New Republic
There is an enchanted-fairy-tale aspect to Mud, but its bright, calm surface only barely disguises a strong, churning undercurrent.
Adam Nayman-Globe and Mail
A modern fairy tale, steeped in the sleepy Mississippi lore of Twain and similar American writers, and with a heart as big as the river is wide.
-Toronto Star
Nichols has a strong feeling for the tactility of natural elements-water, wood, terrain, weather.
David Denby-New Yorker
Nichols takes his time with the story, dwelling on how the boy is shaped by the killer's tragic sense of romance, yet the suspense holds.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
"Mud" isn't just a movie. It's the firm confirmation of a career.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
More than a mere tribute to Twain and Dickens: this has all the makings of a modern classic.
Alice Tynan-The Vine
An extremely sophisticated and progressive examination on how adolescent masculinity is defined by often-contradictory cultural attitudes towards femininity.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy
Mud is as beautiful to watch as it is to listen to, and feel kinship to, whether you're from the South or just Southern at heart.
Tim Cogshell-Alt Film Guide
In Jeff Nichols, America has a champion of the religious and working class. With the schism between the right and left in the U.S. growing ever larger... his ascent couldn't have come at a better time.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
This is a film with a great naturalistic style and captivating performances and which does just about everything right.
Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews
This is American cinema at its very best as Huckleberry Finn meets Stand By Me.The two boys are terrific and McConaughey is sensational as Mud, dazzlingly frazzled as the hunted and haunted man on the run.
Brian Henry Martin-UTV
Up till just past the three-quarter mark, Mud is one heck of a nifty psychological fable.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
The Southern-fried drama "Mud" is an electrifying example of what happens when you merge a crackerjack yarn with a very specific setting, and then pour on the heat with riveting performances.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
McConaughey and Sheridan 's acting skills, as well as those of the entire supporting cast, make this movie better than it ought to be.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
It gets under our skin because Nichols gives us time to come to know Mud's island like the places we knew as children.
Margot Harrison-Seven Days
As Mud might say, it's a hell of a thing.
Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
The boys are so skillfully played that Mud also plays like cinema verite. Nichols' fluid camerawork suggests a documentary-style approach. That helps these young lads transform into flesh-and-blood characters who get our attention and support.
Bruce Kirkland-Jam! Movies
Sheridan, who played the Terrence Malick surrogate in The Tree Of Life, is terrific at conveying adolescent confusion with tiny squints and frowns, and McConaughey plays off him masterfully.
Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto
Carefully crafting films that fly just below the political radar, director-writer Jeff Nichols is slowly, but surely, reweaving the fabric of the American dream.
Katherine Monk-Canada.com
It's totally worth it to pay good money to see a good, little film nestled between theaters showing 'Iron Man 3' and 'The Great Gatsby.' (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)
Teddy Durgin-Screen It!
This is a junior adventure story echoing Huckleberry Finn and Stand By Me, a tale which is in no hurry to unfold, but beautifully done, exquisitely performed, and filled with terror and wonder.
Trevor Johnston-Radio Times
Beautifully acted, intellectually engaging, and dramatically satisfying, Mud deserves to rocket to the top of your must-see list.
Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat
