Review For Beasts of the Southern Wild |
Beasts of the Southern Wild is sheer poetry on screen: an explosion of joy in the midst of startling squalor and one of the most visceral, original films to come along in a while. Christy Lemire-Associated Press
A startling debut feature - this year's "Winter's Bone," but a film all the more magical because we sense that even Zeitlin, as sharp as his eye undoubtably is, will never be able to duplicate it. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
A beautiful, strange tone poem about childhood and innocence. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
The atmosphere Zeitlin develops here is moist with promise and danger, and he moves back and forth between outright fable and pungent reality with an astounding sureness of vision for a first-time director. Tom Long-Detroit News
Beasts is film as natural mystery museum. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
Beasts of the Southern Wild marks one of the most auspicious American directorial debuts in years. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
In his willingness to ignore convention, Zeitlin does reveal a confidence that few first-time directors display. He's made a film that's the antithesis of Hollywood's summer mind-set. Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide
For all its curiosities and loose ends, Beasts of the Southern Wild casts a formidable spell. Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com
Without TREMÉ, BEASTS would not have worked for me, and compared to TREMÉ, BEASTS is little more than a slight, forgettable diversion. Jason Gorber-Twitch
Really the lifestyle of these people takes center stage. It's hard not to appreciate their joie de vivre, or the believable performances these non-actors give. They're both "beasts"! James Plath-Movie Metropolis
The film with the biggest heart of 2012. Clay Cane-BET.com
I doubt anyone is going to watch Beasts of the Southern Wild and understand it immediately... But it's still a fascinating movie. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
Beasts of the Southern Wild looks amazing, but the writers spread the narrative out so much that the film ends up having little impact, making this a visual feast that you'll forget about pretty quickly. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered
The most gallingly overrated film of the year, Beasts of the Southern Wild is a comfortable middle-class fantasy of the moral purity of abject poverty. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine
This movie has to be seen to be believed, and to be believed, it simply has to be seen. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
Fully formed and beautiful whether you like it or not. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline
When you live in the city and you buy your meat wrapped in cellophane, it's a pleasant fantasy to believe that people who sleep in the dirt and gut their dinners are possessed of a spiritual richness that you've always felt you're somehow lacking. Vincent Mancini-FilmDrunk
The strangest, sweetest coming-of-age flick you'll see all year. Matt Glasby-Flicks.co.nz
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" is one of the worst films to come out of 2012. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
It's a human drama which stays with you for quite some time afterwards. Roz Laws-Birmingham Post
Beasts is an extraordinary, deeply moving film that's one of the best of 2012. When the end credits roll - just like Hushpuppy - you'll feel like the king of the Bathtub. Simon Reynolds-Digital Spy
When can we watch it again? Sophie Ivan-Little White Lies
Depicting a person's connection to the land he lives in is not easy to do, but this film does it better than any other film I can remember. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
A wondrously weird slice of Cajun magic realism... Beasts of the Southern Wild explodes with energy and colour. The Cajun rock score soars. And the film's young lead is astonishing. Jason Best-Movie Talk
