A quiet town, beautiful river. Life flows quiet and easy in this place. Two boys, Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) love to take a boat and float down the river. Once on the boat, they find a remote island and a hanging boat on a tree. In it lives a man Mud (Matthew McConaughey). He tells his story that he is hiding and looking for his girlfriend. In exchange for the old hanging boat, boys begin to float to the island every day to bring him food. And then Mud began to involve them in his business.
This is a wonderful story about mostly love, but also relationships with parents and determination of what is good. This movie is beautifully directed. Every shot is made for a reason, showing difficult situations, a lot of powerful and important issues. The composition of good and strong storytelling also adds a nice feeling, thus you just enjoy the action.
Mud is a very mysterious man, he needs some help. The police is chasing him for murder of a man, who has beaten his girlfriend Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). Mud's love to her is obvious, he admires her and does everything for her. This story on the examples of Mud and Juniper and Ellis's parents shows how complicated love can be. Ellis's conversations with his dad about love and how it is to be a man, and his parentless pal Neckbone, who never knew his parents shows a huge input of simple life relationships in this movie.
This film can be called brilliant. It perfectly shows relationships between fathers and sons, even uncle with his parentless nephew. Beautiful cinematography, this movie is very nice to watch. Performances are great, whether it is McConaughey or Witherspoon, huge breakthrough for Tye Sheridan. This movie is perfectly done. Independent feel brings a lot for the movie perception. This is that kind of movie, that you can call art.
