what is mudbound about
A scene from âMudbound,â Dee Reesâs film adaptation of Hillary Jordanâs novel. Credit Steve Dietl/Netflix âMudboundâ is a movie about how things change â slowly, unevenly, painfully. It is also, as the title suggests, about how things donât change, about the stubborn forces of custom, prejudice and power that lock people in place and impede social progress.
