I had the opportunity to watch Mud last night on EPIX (that channel is awesome sometimes, BTW) and I have to say I was very entertained. I think it was a great performance from the kid who played Ellis.

There's really nothing unforgettable about the movie, but it was still an all around good film. Some of the cinematography, like the shots of the water at dusk or the motor making a wake for a few seconds behind the boat...just nice touches.

Anyone else like "Mud"? McConaughey must be contractually obligated to remove his shirt in every movie. I guess I would too if I were him.

I liked mud. Good flick. I saw it months ago however and don't remember much more than who was in it and that there was an island and a boat.

Loved it. Raw dialogue, no special effects and good character development. The kids killed it.

I liked it better than Dallas Buyers Club.

One of my favorite movies in the last 5 years.

Great movie about young men coming of age. The child actors were incredible.

Very nostalgic, which usually doesn't work for me, but worked for me here.

Good flick.

I really liked it and was surprised I had not heard much about it. Good story, character development and great cinematography. I've never been the biggest McConaughey fan, but I thought he was very good as well.

It looks very good, and I am pleased to see Matthew McConaughey acting in much better movies these days instead of piece of shite chick flicks.

I've seen Mud 3 times already. I love it.

I disagree. I think the way the movie is able to be 1 part coming of age story and 1 part crime thriller is very unique and uforgettable

Enjoyed it. Definitely in my top 5 for 2013. As others have said, the kid actors were great. McConaughey was solid in his role. Was a bit surprised that Witherspoon has a lesser role but she was good in her limited screen time.


SPOILERS**************************













The only thing I found a bit odd was the under water scene after the big shootout at the end. I guess that was just his white shirt but it suggested that he had died under water. I was a bit relieved by the somewhat happy ending. I guess Mud finally realized that life with Juniper was not meant to be. Witherspoon was money as a trashy slut.

I knew you were gonna start this thread after I saw you say you watched this on FB.

Loved Mud. Thought it was really great. MM was great and the two kids were really good.

Here were my original thoughts on the movie after I saw it...the whole thing boils down to "women be shoppin."
