BrianSez's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

Matthew McConaughey is great as the grizzled and dying cowboy who discovers he has HIV. Tough to watch – especially the womanizing drinking mans man that becomes so frail and helpless, but its worth it. Also an outstanding supporting cast: Jennifer Garner and especially Jared Leto as the transgender sidekick. Great movie.

    The rare movie I rated lower than Tripod.

    Regarding Tripod’s Review
    Brilliant review with lots of quotable lines, including “It is a story of fine strokes in the big picture of gay culture during a fearful time. Our generation has watched the history of gay rights and acceptance in slow motion which strangely enough has not helped its story to be told any faster in the movies.”

    That said, Mud was hardly a failed effort.
