Mudbound is a 2017 American historical drama film directed by Dee Rees and written by Rees and Virgil Williams, based on the novel of the same name by Hillary Jordan. It stars Carey Mulligan, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Clarke, Jason Mitchell, Jonathan Banks, and Mary J. Blige. The film depicts two World War II veterans – one white, one black – who return to rural Mississippi each to address racism and PTSD in his own way. The film premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2017,[4] and was released on Netflix and in limited release on November 17, 2017.

Critics praised its screenplay, direction, and the cast's performances (particularly those of Mitchell and Blige)[5] and at the 75th Golden Globe Awards received nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Blige) and Best Original Song ("Mighty River").[6] At the 90th Academy Awards, the film earned four nominations: Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song for Blige, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography, the latter of which made Rachel Morrison the first woman ever nominated in the category. Blige became the first person to ever be nominated for an acting and song award during the same year.


Good movie. Depressing, but good.

Garrett Hedlund was actually impressive in this one. Fantastic performance by Jason Mitchell. I thought he looked familiar. After looking it up I saw he played Eazy-E.
