Jeff Nichol's Mud is about 'two young boys who encounter a fugitive and form a pact to help him evade the vigilantes that are on his trail and to reunite him with his true love.' (IMDB)
I was lucky enough to attend the Dallas International Film screening where Jeff Nichols, the director of Mud, was there to chat about his film. I enjoyed the film thoroughly and here are my thoughts.
Beautiful locations. Michael Dittmar found locations that fit the story very nicely. The use of symbolism with Mud's white shirt, boots, and gun worked. The casting was phenomenal and put the audience into the Arkansas mindset. It was also simple to know where the boys were and where they were heading because of the clarity Nichols created with entering and exiting of shots.
