Mud Review (2013)

Mud Review 

 

   Let me start off by saying that the actor who played Ellis (Tye Sheridan) was GREAT. Usually I hate kid actors but this guy totally nailed his role. With his parents on the verge of divorce, Ellis just wants to believe that love can work and that is the motivation for helping Mud.
  If you go into this not knowing what to expect then you may be disappointed by all of the praise it's getting. Mud is not a tense, edge of your seat, action thriller and if anything is rather slow (Sometimes even too slow). If you go into it knowing that, then I think you will like this little indie. The brilliant directing and the effortlessly stunning performances from the cast are the only thing that kept me in my seat, especially when the plot runs thin. Is it over-hyped? Yes, but it's not awful. 2 out of 5 stars. (It's Okay)
