It wasn’t until the credits of Take Shelter that I realised that director Jeff Nichols is the sibling of the Lucero frontman, Ben Nichols.  However, after watching Mud, the resemblance is pretty clear.

Mud is a boys’ own kind of story, and it feels like it come straight from the pages of Mark Twain, Willy Vlautin or Eric Miles Williamson.  It follows two teenage boys, Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) from rural Arkansas who happen across a stranger called Mud (Matthew McConaughey) living. . . . . . . .

Harmony Korine has this kind of enfant terrible thing going on, kind of like Lars Von Trier, except he lets his film do the talking rather than his mouth.  Korine became infamous after his first film, Kids garnered controversy (and an NC-17 certificate in the US).  His latest release, Spring Breakers caused upset at my local cinema weeks before it had even been released, with some patrons complaining that the promotional material featuring former Disney stars in bikinis was sexist and offensive.  Some even ended up covered with t-shirts (surely this. . . . . . . .

I guess it happens to everyone sooner or later. Picture this: you're in a packed auditorium for some new comedy film and it seems that everyone is laughing apart from you. This is what happened to me when I saw I Give It A Year.

I Give It A Year stars Rafe Spall and Rose Byrne as a couple whose names I instantly forgot. They get married after being together for seven months. It quickly transpires that they have nothing in common, and the film follows their doomed relationship and the temptations that come in the shape of Anna Faris an. . . . . . . .
