Full Plot Details

Mobile, Alabama, 2007: the oldest Mardi Gras in the United States is a study in Black and White. Groups prepare coronations, parades, balls, and revelry. White and Black communities have separate royal courts and separate events. People comment on these vestiges of segregation, some critical and some okay with it. The Black king and queen come to the coronation of the White royal couple, and the White king and queen join the celebration at the Comrades party, a primarily Black event. City patriarchs agree to do more together, and the city's youth seem to want more interaction as well. The film explores possible contradictions between preserving traditions and putting the old Mobile behind them.

Movie Reviews

Movie Eye - 10/10 by Frank Ochieng[An] affectingly insightful and well-informed documentary. Myths taps into a special kind of Southern tradition%u2014with underlying racial overtones as a societal hovering factor.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Vadim RizovQuietly shocking, The Order of Myths is a deft, engrossing cross-section of Mobile life, heavy on local color and insight.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 9/10 by Rumsey TaylorRevolutionary advances have been made in racial equality, but in Mobile segregation - the most interpretable symptom of racism - has its last stronghold in Mardi Gras.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Robert AbeleAn invaluable portrait of us-and-them America, a smart, generous, poignant, quietly disturbing movie about secrecy and hospitality, and how easy it is for a tradition of separateness to flourish when the stakes are as deceptively frivolous as an eye-popping yearly party.
Movie Habit - 9/10 by Marty MapesSeparate but equal is alive and well in America; see how it works at Mardi Gras in Mobile
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn informative behind-the-scenes look at America's oldest Mardi Gras.
Film Threat - 9/10 by Pete Vonder HaarSmartly edited, utterly engrossing, and as intelligent an examination of American race relations as I've seen.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisEschewing voice-over or any obvious trace of an on-screen or off-screen presence, she (Brown) lets her images, a little text and other people do the talking for her. Her quiet has its own force.
TV Guide Magazine - 9/10 by Maitland McDonaghMargaret Brown's documentary is actually an examination of the racial divide in a city that claims there is none.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 8/10 by David EdelsteinBrown explores a potentially enraging subject--rigidly upheld racial segregation in the country's oldest Mardi Gras celebration, in Mobile, Alabama--but her touch is so unforced and her gaze so open that no one is bruised.
