Today is 9 to 5 Day, marking Dolly Parton's passing earlier this year.

For a reading community, it's worth remembering that Dolly's Imagination Library gave away over 200 million books to children — free books, mailed monthly, from birth to school age, to families who signed up regardless of income. She understood what books do for children, and she did something substantial about it.

She was also one of the most instructive examples of building a creative career on your own terms and staying yourself completely while doing it. A genuine one-off. Worth marking today. 🌹

Cast is exceptional - all are absolutely on their A-game (0 more)
Remarkable, excellent, harrowing film
Dee Rees has created a historical epic about two Americas - people living side by side but utterly separated by experiences - that resonates in modern times. Set in the rural American South during World War II, Mudbound is an epic story of two families pitted against one another by a ruthless social hierarchy, yet bound together by the shared farmland of the Mississippi Delta.

Following the McAllan family, they are transplanted from the quiet civility of Memphis and seem unprepared for the harsh demands of farming. Meanwhile, Hap and Florence Jackson - sharecroppers who have worked the land for generations - struggle to build a small dream of their own despite the rigidly enforced racial barriers they face. In between, are the sons of both families, fighting together in a war, and returning together as brothers despite being on different ends of the spectrum. But soon after they face the harsh realities of the Jim Crow laws.

Rees' film is a study of historic division, but it has such a poetically tragic sense of the characters and their limitations that it transcends the setting and location. The cast are entirely remarkable, with standout performances from Carey Mulligan, Jason Mitchell, and Rob Morgan. The last few scenes are climactic, and truly horrifying, leaving you reeling at the end. Mudbound has elevated Netflix's theatrical game.
