Mudbound's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
Mudbound is a rarity: a true ensemble piece with no ?main character?. Everyone is terrific, but Rob Morgan as Hap is particularly astounding. A wise, honest and hard-working man who preaches on Sunday in a half-built church. The livelihood of his family is directly dependent on how much of his back he puts into everything.
The Playlist
?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.
Variety
?Mudbound? is a story about fighters, whether defending the country from Hitler or simply trying to put food and milk on the table. That?s something anyone can relate to, and yet, as the movie illustrates, when everyone?s crowded together on the bottom, it makes sense to stand up and fight together, not against one another.
The Wrap
Jason Clarke and Carey Mulligan play a couple who think they?ve bought a farm, only to find that they?ve been swindled and must live in a small house and work the land to survive; grandpa (Jonathan Banks) is a racist and can?t abide the fact that they?ve been placed in close proximity to a black sharecropping family headed by Rob Morgan and Mary J. Blige.
