Must-Watch Trailer for 'Mud'

Directed by Jeff Nichols, who did 'Take Shelter' which was as must-see as it gets for cinephiles. With Matthew McConaughey who is becoming the new top dog for character-driven stuff, and Reese Witherspoon who is making a move away from candy-coated movies.

Also with Michael Shannon, who had the lead in 'Take Shelter' and always brings it. Sam Sheppard takes a turn, which can't be missed. And get this, Joe Don Baker is in this. Yeah, I know. 



Here's a clip that shows Nichols' confidence.

Clip from Jeff Nichols' 'Mud'

With Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, who are both becoming more go-to for character-driven pieces.

The real news here is director Jeff Nichols, whose 'Take Shelter' with Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain is must-see for cinephiles. That flick was elegant, subtle and very confidently executed. It's one of my favorites. In less capable hands 'Mud' could be a struggle to sit through but Nichols will (surely) deliver a fine movie. That Nichols also wrote the script for 'Mud' (as he did for Take Shelter) makes it even better.

'Mud' is about two teenage boys who help a fugitive evade capture and reunite with his girlfriend.
