Review of Mudbound (2017) by Netflic — 19 Mar 2018

This movie is about life in America's South in the forties, before the War and after. The story focuses on two families, one white, the other black.

They work and live off the same land. The film is about hatred, racism, friendship, and also about how the war changed the world and this country.

.

As its name suggests, the movie is grim, the life is hard and unfair.

You can think of mud as a dark side of a human nature.

The film was a bit slow in the beginning and uneven at times but overall came out quite powerful and even somewhat hopeful at the end.

I wish there was less narration behind the scene. Acting was very good across the board.

The movie was nominated for several Oscars.

Available on Netflix.
