Review of Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) by Monica W — 25 Feb 2013

A well written and acted film that beautifully interdisperses both its cultural messages with its environmental imagery. This is the kind of movie everyone can find something to appreciate. I'm still a little on the fence on the usage of mocumentary styled filming as the shaking camera is often very distracting to the overall presentation it also provides an extra layer of grit that sells the harsh realities of the little girl's journey.
