This is a huge, captivating, fantastical film about six year old Hushpuppy, born and raised in the “Bathtub” (swampy kind of place south of New Orleans) with her alcoholic father and rag-tag, free spirited bayou family. Hushpuppy and her people cling fiercely to their home and lifestyle in the face of a hurricane, the impending melting of the ice caps and threats from the outside world. Beasts of the Southern Wild is a very emotional story, carried on the shoulders of tiny but powerful Hushpuppy. It’s a lot to take in, and I had a lot of questions afterwards… but I’m pretty sure I liked it.
