My favorite movie of 2012: Beasts of the Southern Wild


This movie was AMAZING, largely thanks to the miniature force of nature named Hushpuppy! http://www.beastsofthesouthernwild.com/

New York Times Review: "Hushpuppy, the 6-year-old heroine, has a smile to charm fish out of the water and a scowl so fierce it can stop monsters in their tracks. The movie, a passionate and unruly explosion of Americana, directed by Benh Zeitlin, winks at skepticism, laughs at sober analysis and stares down criticism. Made on a shoestring by a resourceful New Orleans-based collective, it is animated by the same spirit of freedom it sets out to celebrate. If, as the Fourth of July approaches, you find yourself craving an antidote to anger and cynicism, a bracing reminder of the meaning of independence, and a helping of homegrown art to go with your hamburgers and watermelon, then this may be just what you need."
