Review of Mudbound (2017) by Bhbarry — 18 Nov 2017
“Mudbound” is a film based on the novel by Hillary Jordan about life in the post World War II deep south and how two families, one white and one African American, cope with the Jim Crow environment which surrounds and, in fact, dominates them.
This is a powerful film extremely well acted by Carey Mulligan, Jason Clarke, Rob Morgan and Mary J. Bilge performing in a screenplay co-written by the film’s director, Dee Rees and her co-writer, Virgil Williams.
More than anything else, this film educates and informs the innocent and unknowing of what life was like for the poor white farmer, the sharecropper and those whose hate and fear of a minority brought about the perpetuation of hostile and immoral values and conduct.
I give this film an 8.0 rating with a strong recommendation that it be seen by all.
