I'm not sure what the producers sought to achieve with a movie like this. It is too moody and sorrowful to be entertaining. It is a racially based story that is too often told (in one form or another), to be profound. And the series ofI'm not sure what the producers sought to achieve with a movie like this. It is too moody and sorrowful to be entertaining. It is a racially based story that is too often told (in one form or another), to be profound. And the series of events, leading up to the climax, are too unrealistic to be taken seriously. I wanted to like this movie. I truly did. I want to see Dee Rees be the first black woman to get nominated for Best Director. I want to see "Mudbound" get nominated for Best Picture. But it is going to be a tough call. I thought most of the performances were good, especially Rob Morgan as Hap Jackson and Carey Mulligan as Laura McAllan. However, Dee Rees' insistence on having the actors speak in back-woods, Mississippi, dialect sometimes made it difficult to understand what the actors were saying. Caption is a must! If I am honest with myself, I will have to admit that I didn't really like "Mudbound." Yet, I still recommend it (barely). Because I still think that it has enough redeeming qualities to be worthy of your 2 hours. Give it a chance and decide for yourself.… Expand

Important movie, but completely unenjoyable to watch. This is not entertainment, but purgatory. If you have a strong ability to tolerate seeing misery on the screen, you may like this. I did not, and wish I hadn't seen it.

Took quite a while to recover from a disjointed exposition, and some middle sequences ran dry. Stellar performances kept interest through a heavy-handed conflict and climax. Checks a lot of boxes but pieces didn't add up to an enjoyable watch.
