Reviews
Film.com - That Nichols is able to orchestrate this entire journey with steady tension and lyrical imagery is a testament to his storytelling capabilities. At the risk of seeming presumptuous, if MUD doesnÆt make it to my year-end list, then 2013 has some mighty movies up her sleeve., Variety - If TAKE SHELTER embodied man's crushing inability to cope with forces beyond his control, and SHOTGUN STORIES examined a blood feud from the side of those in the wrong, then ascending writer-director Jeff Nichols blends the turbulent waters of the former with the dirty dealings of the latter to make MUD.
