Mudbound (2017)

White family buys a farm with black sharecroppers working it while WWII rages. Well, it’s more accurate to say that white man buys a farm and drags his meek wife and their two daughters along to a muddy hellhole so he can feel like a big strong man.

He’s an asshole. His father’s an asshole. The blacks are noble. The wife is sympathetic and kind but still white and entitled… just your basic “life used to be so much shittier than it is now, so take Trump in stride” film, I guess.

B-
