About
Beasts of the Southern Wild

This ramshackle film, through the naked no frills narrative of an innocent abroad and the depiction of the various creative adjustments she employs to survive abandonment, tragedy, grief and chaos, invites us to share the journey of a group of fringe dwellers who are prepared to pay the price of living the illusion of freedom. I didn’t really enjoy it and found it wearying, but I appreciate what it aspired to and what it achieved. Wallis and the aurochs the standout. 4/5
