Beautifully Atmospheric Psychological Drama - Excellent - Mud review by PV
This is one of the best US movies I have seen for ages. There is superb acting here and well-structured, tight writing, plus a wonderful sense of place.
Particularly impressive is the way this story delves into characters' psychology - the way the situation and psyche of a young teenage boy mirrors that of the fugitive he tries to help. The rejection each face change them - and a wonderful climactic scene when the boy confronts Mud is superb and not overdone. You can feel the young boy's rejection and sense of betrayal - ad he grows up to discover an adult world of relationships, lies, betrayal and disappointment.
The drama never lets up here until the quintessential American ending; however, this film takes it further with what is really a epilogue, ambiguously hinting at hope for the future and the characters.
A great film. Far better than I expected. Five Stars.

Cameo US film - Mud review by NC
Bit like the little Brit made films that are sometimes done....but US style.........actually quite tight and well acted. Even Reece keeps her twangy vocals to normal level.
Matthew is pretty much spot on. Refreshing to see the yanks can actually pull one out sometimes!

Worth seeing - Mud review by CP Customer
We really liked this film. The music, accents and background really gave a feel to the location, Good plot and good acting, particularly from the two young lads.
