Intriguing film! The acting was very captivating both actors that played Neckbone and Ellis were very convincing in their relationship as best friends. Matthew McConaughey playing mud was also very interesting as he portrayed this young man hiding out on an island attempting to get back together with his girlfriend while dodging men trying to track down and kill him. The connection between Ellis and Mud is apparent especially since he’s at the same age at which Mud fell in love with Juniper. They both seem to have a close understanding and knowledge of what love is. The setting itself of a small town in Eastern Arkansas is so suiting for a movie covering such a topic and the cinematography was done exceptionally well. Overall the movie does a great job of introducing characters to the audience and giving you a reason to want to know more about each character. - @magicsoup of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
