Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2017)

Let me start off by stating I was Luke-warm about possibly viewing this film due to what I felt was over-kill when it comes to films of this genre. But after watching an interview about the picture on PBS, The Tavis Smiley Show with actor Jason Mitchell, who by the way was excellent in his role and the director I had a change of heart when she stated this was not another slave movie but a movie that takes place in the 40's in an era that hasn't been written about through films. So after exhausting myself preparing for Thanksgiving, I decided to watch the film and I have to say it did not disappoint, Mudbound has to be one of the best picturesI've seen this year. The acting was was outstanding, Jason Mitchell and Garrett Hedlund carried the film the supporting actors were excellent and the story was original, touching, relatable and thought- provoking. Carey Mulligan and Mary J.Blige were solid, just a well put together film. The backdrop for the film was breathtaking just a very good picture Rob Morgan was great in his role and I would highly recommend this movie. Mudbound has to be one the best pictures of the year!
