Matthew McConaughey is a fugitive on the run from the law in new drama thriller Mud.
By Genna Patterson
Matthew McConaughey plays Mud, a man hiding on a waterlogged Mississippi island in a boat. Two teenage boys encounter him and are asked to help him get away so that he can be reunited with his true love, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). The boys, Ellis and Neckbone, believe Mud when their town is swept by vengeful bounty hunters and the woman in question.
The boat Mud lives in is stranded in a tree from the last flood, so in order to escape he will need the boy’s help to get it down. Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire) also stars.
Written and directed by Jeff Nichols, who is known for his Take Shelter and Shotgun Stories, Mud competed for the Palme d’Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
It has no Irish release date but will go on selected release in Europe in April.
