I had heard about this before release and thought it sounded up my alley. I like watching movies based not just on plot but to see certain actors try to do something a little different. I saw it on TWC Movies On Demand, pay per view

I also like a movie that has a strong sense of region and this was written and filmed by someone from Arkansas in Arkansas with a lot of locals.
This reminded me a little of Winters Bone.

Its not a fast film or super suspenseful but I liked it and recommend it if you like this genre. Kind of nice to see Witherspoon in something other than a glam role. Sam Shepard sure has aged but then again so have I

Mud (2012 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loved this movie. Jeff Nichols also lived in my neighborhood and it was interesting to hear him talk about this movie as it was coming to life, and then to see it on screen.

Acting was superb, you really got a feel for the area of the Mississippi that it was set in, and the story is not cookie cutter.

I thought it was very slow.
But once the characters were all developed, I thought it was a pretty good slow paced movie.

I liked this movie too but you have to stick with it. The movie has an almost old fashioned storytelling pace to it, but it's well worth watching to the end with a surprisingly violent climax.
