As someone generally skittish of any film labeled ‘independent,’ imagine my surprise at my love of the preview for Beasts of the Southern Wild. The music is outstanding, the narrator and lead actress has found her niche at age nine, and the sparklers didn’t hurt either.
In full, this cinematic delight wrapped me in a cocoon of music and a little spitfire named Hushpuppy walked me through her life in the Bathtub. She showed me a story so real and so genuine, I had a hard time believing I wasn’t beside Hushpuppy the entire time.
It was beautiful.
