'Under the Mud' is a film made for all the right reasons. A social project that enabled fifteen young people from the Garston area of Liverpool to write and star in their own film.
The result - a charming low budget British film that should be celebrated for everything it lacks - a star studded cast, a big budget and special effects. In an age where many independent and international films look to Hollywood for inspiration, 'Under the Mud', much like the rebellious characters in the film, puts two fingers up to the system.
It's refreshing to see a British film with such character.
Ultimately, 'Under the Mud' feels good to watch.
