Netflix has had quite a few duds with their movies, but somehow they managed to produce a superb work of historical fiction here. Yes it’s fictional, but it’s also based on very real situations. It follows a Black and a White family on a farm in Jim Crow Mississippi, during and after WWII - which was not a nice place to be. ------------------------------------------------------------ references: Lambert, Frank.

It stars Carey Mulligan, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Clarke, Jason Mitchell, and Mary J. Blige. The film depicts two World War II veterans – one white, one black – who return to rural Mississippi each to address racism and PTSD in his own way. Principal photography began in May 2016 in Louisiana. Mudbound premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2017,[5] and was released on Netflix and in limited release on November 17, 2017. Critics praised its screenplay, direction, and the cast's performances (particularly those of Mitchell and Blige)[6] and at the 75th Golden Globe Awards received nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Blige) and Best Original Song (\"Mighty River\").[7] At the 90th Academy Awards, the film earned four nominations: Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song for Blige, as well as Best Adapted Screenplay. It also earned a nod for Best Cinematography, making Rachel Morrison the first woman ever nominated in the category and Blige became the first person to ever be nominated for an acting and song award during the same year. ------------------------------------------------------------ #History #Mudbound #Review #Accuracy #Mississippi #Segregation #JimCrow\n
