...is at once sweeping epic and granular character study.

Just about everyone in director/co-writer Dee Rees’ searing and brutally effective 1940s period piece “Mudbound” is living in some version of Hell on Earth.

...a film set during a tumultuous period in history that has worrying parallels with current events. Something we’ve sadly heard too often in recent months.

The film invites us to observe its characters, to hear their inner voices, to see what they see and to challenge our own preconceived notions about race and gender.

’Mudbound’ er en klassisk og forudsigelig fortælling om sydstaterne i post-krigsårene, som instruktøren puster nyt liv i ved konstant at skifte synspunkt og lade alle komme til orde igennem indre monologer...

Spike Lee-protegén Dee Rees har med detta mästerverk tidigt i sin regikarriär lyckats skapa ett fint ensembledrama om 40-talets rasrelationer i den djupaste södern (där hon själv är uppvuxen).

Noget af det bedste ved Mudbound er ensemblets fornemme spil.
