THE GOOD: Great performances by all involved. The acting is top notch and Matthew Mconawhatever brilliantly portrays his character.
THE BAD: This movie tried to build a film around one interesting character but it doesn't overcome all its other flaws. The plot is about as slow moving as a tranquilized sloth. Nothing really happens or advances the storyline much. We spend 2 hours watching these kids bring parts to Mud. The finale is the only interesting part of the plot but not worth a 2 hour wait. Mud was an interesting character but none of the other characters are developed much.
CONCLUSION: Standard film festival drab that may appeal to the artsy fartsy crowd but leaves mainstream movie-goers wishing for more.
