Mudbound

"Rees's magic touch as a filmmaker ... is powered by her ability to break her characters open one by one and reveal their souls."

"A hymn to what we all share - the human struggle, the mutual desire to succeed and create a better world for our children - and it is a damning indictment of those who stand in the way of such progress."

"It's the kind of big, meaty storytelling that can feel awfully invigorating amidst a sea of wispier indie fare."

"Mixing poetic voiceover and gorgeous cinematography, time and again the frame fills with extraordinary observations and grace notes."

"An ambitious, superbly acted epic of racial discord..."

"This densely textured, populous narrative ... is given novelistic room to breathe and a slow-burn intensity that builds to a shattering conclusion."

"An arresting portrait of a place, people, and time…"

"It's a film brimming with rich characters, incredible performances, nuanced direction, and a pitch-perfect script."
