There are a bunch of terrific performances, particularly from Mary J. Blige, Rob Morgan, and Jason Mitchell, but you've gotta sit through a very middling first hour to get to the part where it's worth it. And even when it is worth it, it's just building to the same type of…
demi adejuyigbeDec 7, 2017I have said before, I believe, that I wish no one felt the need to tell these kinds of stories anymore. It's a condemnation upon us that our stories have to show a black man save the life of a white man before he even considers a black man a human being. It's a deeper…

The white farmers digging a grave for their father in the opening scene of Mudbound are about five feet down when they run into a problem: piles of bones suggest that the area has already been used as a cemetery of sorts for former slaves. It’s an inconvenience to them, but…

LucyDec 30, 201772 An epic sliced down to two hours and some pocket change, and it hardly feels harshly truncated, emphasizing lean dynamics and painterly period detail over various asides. It would've excelled as a miniseries, but this will do.

50/100 So heavily narrated at the outset that it's practically a Fotonovel, and while the torrent of expository verbiage eventually dies down (resurfacing here and there), that just leaves a big hole where the movie's raison d'être should be. Reliable reports indicate that…

ChinarAn extremely powerful and provocative work that serves as one of Netflix's absolute best original films, Mudbound is an intense, tragic, poignant drama from co-writer and director Dee Rees that manages to be both incredibly epic and achingly intimate, with terrific…

Kaitlyn Clay lovedMudboundThis moving was not only well directed but written!! If I was a history teacher in college (specifically due to some of the graphics) this movie would be an assignment!!! 10/10
Dylan Farmer lovedMudboundWow this wayy to good than it needs to be. I was totally thinking going into this that it’s just some Netflix movie where mike ehrmantraut is a racist slinging out hard r’s. While it is amusing to see that, it is a rich and emotional movie. Must see. (9/10)

I’m not quite sure how Rees (2011’s Pariah) has done it, exactly, but the depth of heartbreak and humanity in this — just her second feature film — is remarkable.

A vividly acted, dramatically rich depiction, harsh and beautiful, of life and death in 1940s Mississippi, following two families of intertwined destinies.

Cowriter and director Dee Rees (Pariah, Bessie) does a skillful job making us feel these inequities as they take place over time and become the fabric of lives, the basis of the assumptions people make about race and culture — the way things are.
