Matthew McConaughey is officially back.

On Friday afternoon, the revered actor descended upon Filmland, an annual film festival in Little Rock, Arkansas, to receive the Variety Legend & Groundbreaker Award as well as present a screening of his latest film, “The Rivals of Amziah King,” wherein he stars as a honey-maker who finds himself roped into a criminal plot. Directed by Andrew Patterson, and marking the stellar debut of co-star Angelina LookingGlass, “The Rivals of Amziah King” is the first film McConaughey shot in five years, and our critic said it marks a welcome return for the actor, with the role fitting him “like a glove” while also being “different from anything he’s every done.”
