DVD not yet available at writing, here’s the book so you can read about even more misery than the movie could cover.
Mudbound (2017) The lighthearted story of post-WWII brothers working a played out farm, barely keeping the family fed and about to go bust at any time and lose the mudbog fields and ramshackle house where they live with their bitterly racist old father, one with a miserable, loveless marriage with a wife who just lost their only potential son to a miscarriage and is now barren, the other a drunken, loutish shell-shocked veteran and their impoverished black sharecropper tenant farmers, who, unlikely as it may be, are even poorer and nearer destitute than their white landlords, with the father breaking his leg and unable to work and their own son back from the war, embittered and at odds with the racist white townspeople. We start with that idyllic scenario, but things go bad.
