From the writer/director of Shotgun Stories and Take Shelter comes Mud, which stars Matthew McConaughey as a wanted fugitive who is befriended by two teenage boys who agree to help him elude a group of bounty hunters and reunite him with his on-and-off girlfriend while evading poisonous snakes and angry parents.

The first few months each year are typically a terrible time for movies. After an injection of quality in December, Hollywood unleashes hell upon audiences, throwing garbage left and right and hoping things will stick.
