But. . .would rather this were a biographical film about the late, great Jimmy Smith.
I haven't see a bad Jeff Nichols film yet. Can't wait.
Was kind of disappointed in this. The only other movie I've seen of his was take shelter and I immediately bought the blu ray. This one was overlong and dragged too much. I loved some of the visuals though and the quick bursts of action. It had nothing like the emotional weight of Take Shelter which was the most disappointing part.
Watch SHOTGUN STORIES. Its on Amazon for $3. Tremendous debut for Nichols. He shot it in '04 and had to sit on it for years until he could find distribution. Shannon is awesome in it.
MUD is just perfection. If you haven't seen it, you must. McConaughey was already well into the McConaissance. MUD was the film Nolan saw that made him cast McConaughey in INTERSTELLAR and its the film Jean Marc Vallee saw that made him cast McConaughey in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB.
