Mud
Daily Showtimes: 4:20, 7:00, 9:35 Friday, Saturday & Sunday Matinees: 1:30 
Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland and Sam Shepard star for writer/director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter) in this coming of age story set in Arkansas. Two teens set off into the delta to find a boat they hear was stranded high in a tree after the last flood. They encounter a character called Mud (McConaughey) whose presence is signaled by bounty hunters and a police roadblock.
"It may take a cynical approach towards romance, and it may not always be subtle with its foreshadowing, but I’ll be damned if Jeff Nichols’s “Mud” isn’t the most immediately involving film that I’ve seen in a good long while." William Goss, Film.Com
