An evocative highlight of the American movie year so far.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
Sadly, Nichols, who made the superb Take Shelter, gets mired in mood this time around. But there's still an evocative sense of childhood exploration, and a gritty performance by Matthew McConaughey.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

For at least three-quarters of the way, this is a fine film, and one that kids and parents could see together.
David Thomson, The New Republic

There is an enchanted-fairy-tale aspect to Mud, but its bright, calm surface only barely disguises a strong, churning undercurrent.
