Review of Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) by James M — 11 Jun 2013
This movie saw Quvenshane Wallis become the youngest ever nominee for a Best Actress Oscar and it was an accolade quite richly deserved, she carries the entire film.
She plays Hushpuppy, a six-year old girl living in a remote part of the Bayou called 'The Bathtub' with her bad-tempered father. After a storm which leaves the Bathtub flooded, her father teaches her how to survive on her own before his own health deteriorates.
Aside from great acting, this is actually movie suffers from a slow-moving narrative and would probably be most enjoyed by fans of art house pictures. Nevertheless, it was still a good watch.
