Mud by Jeff Nichols
Matthew McConaughey delivers the performance of a lifetime in this Twain-like tale of a fugitive hiding out on an uninhibited island on the Mississippi River. After discovering Mud (McConaughey) on the island, two boys -- Ellis and Neckbone -- help Mud concoct a plan to escape safely with his girlfriend Juniper, played by Reese Witherspoon. This movie was the best combination of a perfect story and incredible acting. - Summer
