If you like your movies more on the deep than fluffy side, Mud is an excellent choice. Reminiscent of "Stand By Me," only more intense, Mud brings that feeling of Middle School adventure and angst to life. It's a story of love and rejection, fathers and sons, hope and loss...including the loss of traditional ways of life of days going by. Glad to see Reese Witherspoon back to acting rather than stomping through the drivel of Legally Blonde and other formula movies in her recent body of work.
