Mudbound is a film that doesn't pull the punches in showing the reality of racism in the post-World War II south. The realism that is put into this film makes me feel many emotions including sadness, anger, and even guilt. It is hard for me to believe that people could be so cruel and inconsiderate to someone just because they had different color skin. Racism was not the only thing covered in this film. Other subjects included PTSD, family, and gender roles.The technical aspects of the film were also well done. The Cinematography was beautiful and I thought the acting from Mary J. Blige, Garret Hedlund, Jason Mitchell, and Rob Morgan was great. I would definitely recommend this.Side note: I don't think I have ever hated a character more than the grandfather!

Greetings from Lithuania.Watching "Mudbound" (2017) is like reading a great novel - it sucks you in and like a great novel never lets you out until the last page. "Mudbound" (2017) is a superb movie.Directing was superb. acting was more then solid - it was just outstanding by simply everyone involved. But the real thing for which this movie is not to be missed out is the story and the screenplay. Its a very plausible, realistic, absorbing, touching and deep story that i have no doubt has happen thousands of times before, unfortunately. Overall, while "Mudbound" isn't a perfect movie, its running time 2 h 10 min run like a minute for me. Great craftsmanship, amazing acting and superb story superbly written, this is one of the best movies of 2017. Great movie.

I can't help but think that Mudbound did not return from The Academy Awards with a few Oscars just because The Academy's sensibility to African Americans was long gone (12 Years a Slave, Moonlight etc.). They decided to aim for films that are concerned with the problems of the white people - once again - as we see with Call Me By Your Name. I'd argue that along with Dunkirk and Shape of Water, Mudbound was a frontrunner for both Best Picture and Best Director as well as for Best Supporting Actress with Mary J. Blige's stellar performance.Mudbound features a great cast, the portrayal of the characters are amazing. The way the story is told through different layers combines with these amazing performances and establishes the film as one of the best pictures of the last year.I especially believe that Garrett Hedlund, Rob Morgan and Jason Mitchell's performances were heavily undermined by the critics.
