Review of Mudbound (2017) by David_H — 07 Mar 2018

This would be a useful movie if you enjoy being horrified and deeply depressed upon viewing a movie. I know there are critics who keep saying "we need to remind people of the darker parts of our history..." Okay but seriously how many decades into the 21st century do we need to keep throwing ugly racism onto theater screens? I would argue that continuing to do so is not helpful to race relations.

If I had to say one redeeming thing about it, i'll admit that the performances by Carey Mulligan and Mary J. Blige were both quite good, given the depressing screenplay they were handed.

Unfortunately it was such a downer I would not recommend to to any family or friends.
