Mudbound
This eagerly anticipated film explores issues of race and class through the experiences of two families, one black, one white, in 1940s Mississippi. Carey Mulligan and Jason Clarke play a couple who relocate with their children from Memphis to the Mississippi Delta and struggle to survive by farming, and their lives intertwine with those of a black sharecropping family, headed by Rob Morgan and Mary J. Blige. Dee Rees (Pariah, Bessie) directs from a script she wrote with Virgil Williams, based on Hillary Jordan's book. Mudbound is in theaters in select cities today as well as on Netflix.
