“All The Light In The Sky” Movie Review | Nashville Film Festival
All The Light In The Sky is a perfect hybrid of documentary and narrative. Don’t let me mislead you, the story was written out, the locations scouted, the actors cast… yet everything from the delivery of the lines, to the camera shots, to the plot itself was authentic to the point of being uncomfortable.
Jane Adams (who also co-wrote the film) stars as an aging actress living on the beach in California. There is a telling scene in which Adams’ character Marie is speaking with her agent, finding it more and more difficult to land roles. Just as you’re wondering how autobiographical this film actually is for Adams, she asks her agent about the possibility of an independent movie that pays next to nothing. I don’t suppose I have to spell out the ironic parallels…

“Mud” Movie Review | Nashville Film Festival
A twisted love story set against the tapestry of rural Mississippi, Mud centers around a young boy, Ellis (Tye Sheridan, Tree of Life) who finds a man hidden out on an island. The man (played by Matthew McConaughey) identifies himself as Mud. We never hear Mud’s real name or any last name, but we do discover Mud is on the run, waiting for the love of his life, Juniper (played by Reese Witherspoon). Mud has a turbulent past, and with the arrival of his long-lost love comes inevitable trouble.
Despite McConaughey’s name (and pecs) being attached to the indie film and playing the title role, Sheridan takes on the heavier acting load, appearing in nearly every frame. Witherspoon, on the other hand, was in the film for a grand total of 12 minutes.
