Beasts of the Southern Wild is the heart touching tale of six year old Hushpuppy who lives with her hot-blodded father, Wink, on a small island called the bathtub. Wink contracts a mysterious disease as a hurricane fast approaches and most of the residents flee the tiny island directly in it's way. Hushpuppy and Wink choose to stay. As Wink's condition gets worse, Hushpuppy searches for an answer to keep her father with her.
Overall, I found this to be a very good movie. The acting from Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) was excellent. For her being as young as she is the acting was quite stellar. The story was also a well written. I didn't find much in the movie as a whole that took me out of viewing it. Even for an experimental piece I believe that this movie has a wide audience.
3/4 stars
