Beasts of the Southern Wild deserves
every accolade it has ever received. It’s a not-to-be missed film that tells
the story of Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis), a six-year-old girl, living outside
a Louisiana levee with her alcoholic father, Wink (Dwight Henry), in a
destitute area named The Bathtub. Brutally honest and realistic, the film does
not apologize for real life situations, desperate solutions, love and loyalty
within marginalized communities, the importance of free will in lifestyle, and the
value of choice in place of living. Courageous and engulfing, the film supports
itself on exceptional acting, wonderful metaphors, and an outstanding script.
