Mud, is an excellent film. -Has a great, almost perfect, script. (I say almost perfect because too much swearing in a film makes it bland) -Has some amazing acting. Lots of talent. -Really great music score that matches up with the film nicely. HOWEVER, unnecessary elements can sometimes bring a great movie down to a horrible one. One thing you need to know about Mud is that it is a truly believable story line. It is a very believable movie! Like, by the end, you think to yourself "wow...that could have really happened." But, there are some things in this movie that I disagree on. One, it is incredibly unnecessary to have young teenage boys gawking over a porn magazine. That doesn't have to be in ANY movie much less one like this; that has this good of a story. (There's also a scene where a young guy starts staring down a woman's shirt and she snaps her fingers to make him look away but he won't. Just something that doesn't need to be there.) Two, just because some disrespectful teenage guys talk about sex and girls in inappropriate ways does not mean they all do. It does not make the story more believable by adding that to it. I would have given this a 10 if...It didn't have those unnecessary elements. They DID NOT add anything to the movie. They only took away from it. This film is about love, courage, bravery, mystery, and life's warnings. It is one of the best inidie films I've ever seen. Was well worth the watch! But I would not recommend this film to everyone.
