Beasts of the southern wild is the first movie directed by Benh Zeitlin and stars the child actress
Quvenzhané Wallis.
The film takes place in a fictional island of the south coast of america. we follow a young girl and see he life with an ill farther floods and the freeing of mythical beasts. we see it as her, her farther and the rest of her shanty town community survive the floods all caused by global warming.
This film is quite odd, but in a very charming way. this is probably helped by the amazing talent that child star
Quvenzhané Wallis has she owns this movie and has a serious career a head of her.
The directing is average but it was a nice chose to shoot this film on 35mm film not a digital recording as it helps the films charm over all and reflects the not so high quality life the characters in the film have film also seems a lot more rich that digital ever can.
The fact the film is so does also let it down though as it means the story meanders and doesn't feel coherent also the characters over all are very shallow and you hardly know anything about them.
But this coupled with a Very strange story and a quirky sounding soundtrack create a very charming movie thst gives you a great feel good feeling when the films ends.
I give this movie 7/10
