Racism is complicated... and requires complicity.

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2018)

While not the first film (or book) to deal with racism in the South, Mudbound does a good job of highlighting how complicated racism can be when the oppressed lives and works with and for the oppressed. The hand that asks for help may be the same hand that holds the switch or noose. People on both sides are complicit, playing a part in a society that is sure of everyone's place and worth.
Stepping out of line endangers the individual and the system that flourishes in silence.
Great performances and direction.
Worth a watch
