Matthew McConaughey may have just turned in the performance of his career. Even a chain-smokin, chipped tooth, filthy Matthew McConaughey is beautiful to look at, but it's his acting chops you will love with this one.
MUD takes place along the banks of a river in Arkansas. As you know from previous blogs, I am a river kid. So this movie hit pretty close to home. It's a cross between Stand By Me and Winter's Bone.
I kept thinking being a kid and the choices they have. Kids can't choose where they live, HOW they live, kid's can't choose their parents; things like like. But kids do make choices about who they believe in. Sometimes those choices end up costing them their lives.
McConaughey plays his character with perfection. Witherspoon is so believable as the victim in this story that even I got pissed during the bar scene.
The person I hope doesn't get overlooked is Tye Sheridan who plays Ellis. Just a fantastic actor.
I read online this week - "MUD could be this years ARGO". Let's hope so.
Trust me on this one - go see the movie - you won't be disapppointed.

I want to see this so bad! I'll have to find out if it's still playing around here!
