Movie Haiku:McConaughey gives his Best Performance ever as "Mud," hopelessly in love with "Juniper" (Witherspoon) & destined for endless heartache on her behalf. Producer Sarah Green started out with John Sayles & Maggie Renzi, & MUD is very much in that long, winding, "about-a-place" tradition (in this case rural Arkansas). Jan was in heaven but Rich got a bit restless by the end.
