Summary:
Two boys, Ellis and his best friend Neckbone, find a mysterious man named Mud hiding out on a deserted island in the Mississippi. Mud tells the boys fantastic stories about his life, including how he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him. He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper. The boys agree to help him, but it isn't long until their small town is besieged by bounty hunters out for blood. "A modern fairy tale, steeped in the sleepy Mississippi lore of Twain and similar American writers, and with a heart as big as the river is wide."--Toronto Star. "One of the most creatively rich and emotionally rewarding movies to come along this year."--Los Angeles Times. "Mud is a lyrical coming-of-age tale that feels like a Mark Twain story in a contemporary setting."--USA Today. "What you do need to know is that the acting is top-tier all the way. McConaughey, on a career roll, is magnificent."--Rolling Stone.
