Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
    "Mud" isn't just a movie. It's the firm confirmation of a career. More...
  • Adam Graham, Detroit News
    "Mud" unfolds at its own pace, revealing its story in slivers. The performances are outstanding, especially from Sheridan, who plays tough, sweet, vulnerable and confused with equal conviction. More...
  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
    The film is drenched in the humidity and salty air of a Delta summer, often recalling the musical, aphoristic cadences of Sam Shepard, who happens to appear in a supporting role. More...
  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post
    A wonderful, piquant modern-day variation on "Huckleberry Finn.'' More...
  • Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
    One of the most creatively rich and emotionally rewarding movies to come along this year. More...
  • Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
    It's a movie that holds out hope for the movies' future. More...
  • A.O. Scott, New York Times
    Mr. Nichols's voice is a distinctive and welcome presence in American film. More...
  • John Anderson, Newsday
    Nichols' wild narrative tributaries all eventually intersect, and at no time does he let one's attention stall. More...
  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
    What you do need to know is that the acting is top-tier all the way. McConaughey, on a career roll, is magnificent. More...
  • Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
    Nichols lovingly sketches his characters and their world; he takes his time doing so, but it's a pleasure to watch the small interactions and the humid reality of secret coves and Piggly Wiggly supermarkets and seedy hotels. More...
