Welcome in to another FRIDAY FILM SCREENINGS.
This weeks screening is: MUD
14 year-old
Ellis (Tye Sheridan) lives on a makeshift houseboat on the banks of a river in
Arkansas with his parents, Mary Lee (Sarah Paulson) and Senior (Ray McKinnon).

is one of the well-crafted thrillers that I really enjoyed I give it 4 stars.
