Cannes 2012: Mud – review

13 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Matthew McConaughey gives the best performance of his career as a fugitive befriended by two Mississippi boys

Screening right at the end of the festival, Jeff Nichols's film Mud made an urgent late bid for the Palme d'Or. An atmospheric thriller and coming-of-age tale set on a slow bend in the Mississippi river, Mud has the look and feel of an American indie classic. It is a surefire best picture nominee at next year's Oscars and likely to win some kind of award at Cannes, receiving the warmest applause of the festival at its morning press screening.

Mud takes its name from its lead character, played by Matthew McConaughey, delivering the best performance of his career (and his second at the festival, after The Paperboy) as a fugitive holed up on an island in the Mississippi after murdering a rival for his lover Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). Mud is wanted »

Cannes 2012: Mud – review

19 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Jeff Nichols returns with an engaging and good-looking picture, boosted by two bright leading performances

Jeff Nichols is the director whose mysterious apocalyptic tale Take Shelter was a word-of-mouth sensation at the Cannes festival last year. Now he returns with a rich, sweet slice of Americana – although a little more contrived and sentimental than it promises to be at first.

It's a gentler movie than Take Shelter, a film with obvious literary influences which looks itself like a book adaptation but was in fact written originally for the screen by Nichols.

Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) are Arkansas teenagers with problems at home and nothing to do all summer long but zoom around on their motor scooter exploring. One hot day they take a boat out to a deserted island in the Mississippi where a recent flood has surreally dumped a boat up in the trees. The boys »

Cannes 2012: 'Mud' Director Jeff Nichols Steals the Spotlight from Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon

20 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

Indie director Jeff Nichols hardly seems like the kind of guy to grab attention away from Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey, but that's exactly what the young filmmaker did at Cannes on Saturday. Nichols, 33, was at Cannes for the second time with only his third film, "Mud," and the aw-shucks director so captivated the media at the film's press conference that they almost totally ignored the two gorgeous Hollywood A-list stars in his film. Nichols was seated between a pregnant and very blond Reese Witherspoon, who dazzled in a little black »

The Tear-Jerker That Closed Out Cannes

20 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Cannes, France — The Cannes film festival on Saturday wrapped up the movies in competition wading deep in the Mississippi river with "Mud," a heart-wrenching, Mark Twain-influenced tale of a teenage boy searching for the meaning of life in a harsh world and starring Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon.

With snake bites, shootouts, and a happy ending, it is proudly – even blatantly – inspired by the bard of the Mississippi. Stellar performances from 15-year-old Tye Sheridan – who starred in last year's Palme d'Or winner "The Tree of Life" – and McConaughey separate it from a pack of films in competition set in the colorful American South.

Director David Nichols' third film was the culmination of his film work so far and a decade of effort. The 33-year-old managed to scrape enough money together thanks to the critical success of his previous two pictures: 2007's "Shotgun Stories," and last year's award-winning "Take Shelter. »

Reese Witherspoon Shows Off Her Baby Bump at Cannes

22 hours ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »

She endured a 14-hour flight from Los Angeles, but you'd never know it when a pregnant Reese Witherspoon showed up at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday in a form-fitting black jersey dress that showed off her bump. Witherspoon, who also wore dangling diamond earrings and sky-high fuchsia stilettos, flew to Cannes with her husband Jim Toth to promote her new movie, Mud, which premieres Saturday at the festival. The actress's presence at Cannes while pregnant was all the more surprising given what a small role she has in Mud. The new film, written and directed by 33-year-old indie darling Jeff Nichols, »

Cannes Review: 'Mud' Starring Matthew McConaughey Is An Underwhelming Anti-Fairy Tale

23 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

"Mud," American writer/director Jeff Nichols' underwhelming follow-up to the masterfully visceral "Take Shelter," is both a shallow and contrived coming of age story. While both 'Shelter' and "Shotgun Stories," Nichols' promising debut feature, explore their respective characters' motives and emotions, "Mud" instead offers pat sentiments and bland bathos.

While his parents talk about separating, Ellis (Tye Sheridan, one of the boys in Malick's "The Tree Of Life"), an adolescent native of DeWitt, Arkansas, helps Mud (an accomplished performance from Matthew McConaughey), a fugitive, reunite with his lover. Ellis isn't initially sure why he confides in Mud. But ultimately, Ellis sticks by the titular Byronic redneck in a predictably vain attempt to understand his parents’ break-up and why self-evident displays of affection cannot be taken at face value. Every ounce of mystery and promise established in the first half hour of "Mud" evaporates once it becomes clear that Nichols »

[Cannes Review] Mud

26 May 2012 5:25 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Still exploring the working class American south with a heavy dose of mythical storytelling, only this time with a much broader brush, Jeff Nichols‘ tries at many different things in his entertaining, if overlong, film Mud. Matthew McConaughey (here at Cannes with two films this year, the other The Paperboy) stars as the titular character, who’s discovered on a small island in the middle of the Mississippi River by two 14-year old boys, Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland). Mud, sporting a chipped front tooth and greasy, unclean hair, has been living in a boat stuck up in a tree, waiting for his girlfriend Juniper (Reese Witherspoon) to come calling.

Ellis is immediately smitten by this mysterious adventurer, who spends the majority of his time spinning tall tales and offering up advice he clearly thinks is sage. McConaughey has, without a doubt, chosen to start taking some risks »

Cannes 2012: Jeff Nichols On 'Mud': "It moves unlike anything else I've made."

25 May 2012 11:46 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

At 33, "Mud" writer/director Jeff Nichols is the youngest filmmaker in competition for the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Little Rock native slayed festivalgoers with his critically acclaimed 2007 domestic drama "Shotgun Stories" and reteamed with that film's star, Michael Shannon, to deliver "Take Shelter," an apocalyptic thriller that premiered at Sundance 2011, landed a home at Sony Pictures Classics and won both the Critics' Week Grand Prize and the Fipresci award at last year's Cannes. With his latest film "Mud," a western coming-of-age tale starring Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, Nichols skipped past Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar to land a coveted spot in the Competition, alongside such revered auteurs as Michael Haneke, David Cronenberg, Walter Salles and Abbas Kiarostami. Indiewire caught up with Nichols prior to Cannes ("Mud" premieres on Saturday) »

Robert Pattinson tipped for Hunger Games sequel

25 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Twilight star reportedly in line to play Finnick Odair in follow-up to blockbuster sci-fi film

Twilight star Robert Pattinson could be set to take a surprise role in the forthcoming sequel to The Hunger Games, according to a Us blog.

Think McFly Think says it has the inside line on casting for Catching Fire, the second film of three or possibly four films based on Suzanne Collins's bestselling young adult books. Pattinson is reportedly in line to play Finnick Odair, a previous Hunger Games winner encountered by heroine Katniss Everdeen in the sequel.

In the books, Odair is an almost impossibly handsome young man who won the games at 14 and has spent his time romancing influential citizens of the Capitol, the ruling metropolis in Collins's books, ever since. He initially appears supremely charismatic and full of himself, but turns out to have hidden depths that are vital to the storyline. »
