Mudbound (2017)
A competent, thoroughly watchable period drama set in the deep south around the time of the Second World War, Dee Rees’ Mudbound offers viewers an engaging but difficult look at a period of time that feels both nearer and farther than it should. Written by Rees and Virgil Williams and based on Hillary Jordan’s novel of the same name, it stars Jason Mitchell, Garrett Hedlund, Jonathan Banks, Rob Morgan, Jason Clarke, Carey Mulligan, and a superb Mary J. Blige.
