What Beasts of the Southern Wild Is About
Benh Zeitlin's 2012 film follows a six-year-old girl living in a marshland settlement in Louisiana. Her father falls ill. The water is rising. The film holds its view inside the child's imagination; the narrative gives poverty and climate ruin in the language of a fable. Quvenzhané Wallis became the youngest ever nominee for best actress. It is the director's first feature. It was shot on location with non-professional actors. Who it's for: those who like poetic independent cinema. Who it's not for: viewers who take seriously the criticism that it makes poverty beautiful; that argument followed the film.
