If you like film, pick this one up. It will be nominated for some Oscars, plus you've probably never seen anything like it.
Quvenzhane Wallis plays Hush Puppy, a six year-old girl who lives in the Mississippi Delta area called the Bathtub. The Bathtub is off the grid, cut off from civilization, and the people who live there have their own way of viewing good and bad, family, celebration, society, everything.
This movie combines magical realism with reality so well that I had a hard time determining if anything in the story was real. Or was it all real?
Hush Puppy's dad is sick, and her mom is gone. The ice cap is melting, so the Bathtub and its inhabitants are in danger. That's pretty much all you need to know. This is another example of a movie without a linear story line, which is fine with me. I like it when there is no beginning or end, when we are dropped in the middle of a story and just along for the ride.
