Beasts of the Southern Wild

Mysterious prehistoric aurochs beasts and stunning performances highlight this Oscar-nominated, beautifully photographed, unusual, creative, heartbreaking, critically acclaimed film, which is adapted from Lucy Alibar's play Juicy and Delicious, about a spunky, impoverished, wise 6-year-old girl (Quvenzhané Wallis) who faces incredible hardships in Louisiana while surviving her water logged, ever-changing environment in the "Bathtub" region of the southern Mississippi Delta as her stern, boozing father (Dwight Henry) becomes very sick and she desperately searches for her clueless, absentee mother.
