1h 47m
Directed by Lee Daniels • 2012 • United States
Starring Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey
Lee Daniels’s follow-up to his breakthrough feature PRECIOUS is a deliciously pulpy, swamp-steamy slice of Southern gothic delirium featuring an all-star cast led by Matthew McConaughey, playing a reporter who returns to his Florida hometown to investigate a case involving a death-row inmate (John Cusack) and stumbles into a hotbed of lust, crime, and racial tension. Costarring Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, David Oyelowo, and Macy Gray, this fascinatingly perverse hothouse noir has continued to divide audiences ever since its notorious Cannes premiere.
