This movie was interesting to watch. It had a great story line. The boys were wonderful actors. I missed Matthew's pretty face, but it wouldn't have fit his part. This movie is execellent. Worth seeing!

A really good movie but rather spoiled for me by the audience reaction to two 14 year old boys potty mouth language. I don't get how or why grown men and women think it's so funny when kids talk that way?? Call me overly scrupulous.

Best movie this year! " Stand by me redux" Tye Sheridan steals the show.

Matthew McConnaughey proves he's not just a pretty face yet again.

There's something old-fashioned about Mud, but if you allow yourself to settle into its leisurely pace, it will reward you. If he were alive today, Mark Twain would approve. Full Review

It's too bad...that a movie so attuned to natural currents in the end gets caught up in Hollywood's impossible ones. Full Review

A provocative mood piece. Nichols, who had an art-house hit in 2011 with “Take Shelter,” has a gift for creating characters of unusual depth, and for eliciting performances of emotional resonance. With Mud, he seems to be edging closer to the mainstream, but his skills are as sharp as ever. Full Review

Endearing and believable, the two actors playing Ellis and Neckbone are pitch-perfect. Full Review

It’s hard to believe Nichols thinks he can get away with all this and harder still to believe he does. It’s the quality of the attention that he brings — his focus — that makes his work so engrossing. Full Review
