Brutally heartbreaking, I was watching this on my laptop on the train and at many scenes I'm there crying my fucking eyes out and this guy goes "why are you crying are you okay?"

I replied saying
"It's cinema bro it's fucking cinema"

dee rees is a FORCE of NATURE

it's the small gestures that stay with me: henry adjusting laura's discarded shawl while she dances, florence turning her back so she doesn't have to watch her son leave, jamie putting a bouquet of flowers in the shower he builds, ronsel making his mother eat a chocolate bar without saving it for later. love, love, love seeping into the fabric of the film, fighting to stay alive despite everything.

The white farmers digging a grave for their father in the opening scene of Mudbound are about five feet down when they run into a problem: piles of bones suggest that the area has already been used as a cemetery of sorts for former slaves. It’s an inconvenience to them, but so much more for the movie, which at its best captures the way racial oppression has seeped into the very soil of America.

Full review here.

An epic sliced down to two hours and some pocket change, and it hardly feels harshly truncated, emphasizing lean dynamics and painterly period detail over various asides. It would've excelled as a miniseries, but this will do.

Was holding out to see on the big screen but
can't make any of the screenings.

An extremely powerful and provocative work that serves as one of Netflix's absolute best original films, Mudbound is an intense, tragic, poignant drama from co-writer and director Dee Rees that manages to be both incredibly epic and achingly intimate, with terrific performances, a brutally honest script, and gorgeous cinematography throughout.

i sincerely believe dee rees is a genius

WHY did this not get nominated for best picture. how are you going to expand the category to 10 slots, and nominate only 9 films while you ignore this one. thats going to baffle me for my entire life.

They really gotta play ronsel like that?

Great film, highly recommend.

"Sie gewinnen immer"

Mudbound legt den Finger auf die Wunde einer widersprüchlichen Nation zu zeiten des zweiten Weltkriegs. Der gezeigte Rassismus wird vielfältig und kraftvoll wiedergespiegelt, ferner wird eine Gesellschaft angekreitet die nicht nur vor Hautfarbe, Verdienst und Zugehörigkeit keinen anstand zu besitzen scheint. Die hochkarätige Besetzung rund um Jason Clarke, Carey Mulligan und Mary J. Beide geben eine außerordentlich überzeugende Vorstellung ab. Regisseurin Dee Rees zeigt eine traurigerweise immer noch brandaktuelle Ungerechtigkeit auf, die sich ins Gedächtnis brennt.

Mary J blige como atriz é uma coisa gloriosa de se ver

Good film, it was very slow burning though and the most interesting parts were in the last 20 mins of the film.

This feels like it was made for the purpose of being shown in high school history classes.

The story is rich with parallels and grey storytelling and direction. The performances are all great and dynamic. My one complaint is I think it’s a bit on the long side and struggles with pace in the middle. Other than that it’s a solid period piece with a lot of bold choices and performances.

The real achievement of this  film comes from its many 1 on 1 scenes, if you don’t like two people talking then this isn’t for you but the cast, the director, the writers and the cinematographer are all sublime. If I highlighted just one actor in this film it would be unfair to the rest because this really is an ensemble. It’s not an easy watch, it features some of the most detestable characters I’ve seen on screen, but it’s important, it’s impressive, and it’s very very very well made.

"Oppression, fear, deformity - it would take an extraordinary man to beat all that."

A very powerful and tragic tale about life in the south shortly after the second World War. At times can be difficult to watch, so I certainly would go into the film with that in mind.

The story is told through multiple perspectives throughout the film, traversing personal ups and downs, with the spectre of violent racism lurking in the background, all before finishing in a final crescendo.

Just when the viewer has lost all hope, when they are frustrated, angry, disturbed, and distraught, the film leaves us with something positive growing amidst the tragedy. It gives us hope, something that during the ups seems so abubdant and easy; but during the extreme lows seems as faint and impossible as a mirage. In the end the viewer appreciates just how powerful and beautiful hope can be.

This movie feels muddy and gross adding to the drama of the two families.

Otherwise great but drags a bit too much

It feels so lived in.What a film - Dee Rees is a special talent
