Movie Reviews

Times-Picayune - 10/10 by Mike ScottBeasts of the Southern Wild is not only a wonderful story -- a portrait of intestinal fortitude in the face of enormous change -- but it's our story, forged in our own shared recent history and dripping with flood, sweat and tears.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertSometime miraculous films come into being, made by people you've never heard of, starring unknown faces, blindsiding you with creative genius. Beasts of the Southern Wild is one of the year's best films.
New York Post - 10/10 by Lou LumenickThe best reason to wade into this (let's be honest) challenging but hugely rewarding film is Quvenzhané Wallis.
Wall Street Journal - 10/10 by Joe MorgensternThere's no trace of calculation, only artistic ambitions and hopes that have come to fruition in the year's finest film thus far.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversThere's no way you won't be captivated by Wallis, chosen ahead of 3,500 candidates to play the tiny folk hero who narrates the story. Her performance in this deceptively small film is a towering achievement.
Irish Times - 10/10 by Donald ClarkeThere is a point to all this. As well as offering a delicious audio-visual feast, the film firmly makes the case that those who have least to blame for global warming — those living close to nature — will be the ones who ultimately suffer the most. If we have to be taught such a grim lesson then this is the way to do it.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumThe movie is small, local, and idiosyncratic. Then again, it's also a thing of beauty and originality - and for that, sustained huzzahs are in order.
Variety - 10/10 by Peter DebrugeA stunning debut that finds its dandelion-haired heroine fighting rising tides and fantastic creatures in a mythic battle against modernity.
The Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Todd McCarthyIt's very much an art piece, to be sure, but it feels like a genuine one that, while meditated, speaks fluently and truly for the place, people and culture it so indelibly depicts.
Salon.com - 10/10 by Andrew O'HehirThe point of watching the film, and the only reason to see it, is the experience of watching it, which sounds tautological or something, but is just true. It's a powerful visual and sonic creation with unforgettable characters, set in a heartache-inducing imaginary vision of American community, worlds away from hyper-technologized urban existence.
