Reviews


100
The Guardian - Jordan Hoffman
A hundred well-placed plot breadcrumbs lead us to our perfect ending, but apart from scriptwriting craft Rees gets in some bravura scenes of high tension.
91
Consequence of Sound - Dominick Suzanne-Mayer
What’s perhaps most remarkable about Mudbound is its emotional honesty, Rees rarely sidestepping the inner lives of her characters and never diminishing their own battles to live in an unlivable time, however wrongheaded they might be.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
Mudbound requires a taste for leisurely storytelling generally more focused on building careful nuances and layered characters than on big dramatic cymbal clashes. But patient investment pays off in an epic that creeps up on you, its stealth approach laced with intelligence, elegance and an affecting balance of humanity and moral indignation.
83
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
While Mudbound is rooted in a precise historical moment, it’s also a sobering commentary on timeless struggles.

The Playlist - Gregory Ellwood
Mudbound soars thanks to the impressive performances of the ensemble cast and, notably, Rees’ intent on depicting the harsh reality of this pre-Civil Rights era, warts and all.
