The listing, MUD with MATTHEW McCONAUGHEW has ended.
DVD adventure movie, PG13, 139 minutes, color, 2013 release, ISBN 0-31596-23535, 5 STAR, new classic
The original screenplay by Arkansas native Jeff Nichols is also a classic coming-of-age story about Ellis’s need to escape his home, where marital tension reigns, and sail unknown waters to find adventure and, perhaps, his grown-up self. Mud, which played at last year’s Cannes Film Festival and is one of this year’s most impressive works, could be called a romantic melodrama. But it’s really a clear-eyed essay on the power of romance: in a man’s love for a woman — Mud’s for his sweetheart Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), whom he means to rescue — and a boy’s faith in that man.
