The Show: Mudbound The Moment: The bruise “Violence is part and parcel of country life,” narrates Laura (Carey Mulligan), a 1940s homemaker who just moved against her will to rural Mississippi. The writing in this film, by Virgil Williams and director Dee Rees, is so good. We see Laura take in Vera’s bruise but say nothing. The strategy is a welcome one: both are the kind of midbudget, character-driven fare that’s been elbowed out of theatres by superheroes. But will anyone pay for a movie ticket if they already pay for Netflix?
