Beasts of the Southern Wild
ActionAdventureDramaFantasy93 min
Quvenzhané Wallis is Hushpuppy, a six-year-old growing up in the Bathtub, a ramshackle bayou community at the edge of the southern Delta. Her father, Wink, comes in the form of Dwight Henry, schooling her in survival with rough love as his health begins to fail. When rising waters and melting ice caps flood their world and unleash prehistoric aurochs, Hushpuppy tries to make sense of a landscape where storms, illness, and memory all feel connected. As the Bathtub is pushed toward evacuation, her search for her lost mother unfolds through a child’s-eye mix of daily struggle and folklore.
