Beasts of the Southern Wild (12A)

This film is a diabolical insult to those real people in the world suffering from real poverty. I totally detest it.

Superb - comparison with Malik I can see but where Tree of Life felt ultimately pretty meaningless (to me) this hit so many levels. There is Nick Ray film semi doc about the Louisiana bayous which would make a brilliant double bill this

Tried very hard to like this movie after all the hype, but it left me high and dry. Its politics were all mixed up, while the story line was bizarre, or was it the other way round. The score was moving, but interrupted by the snoring on my left. As we left groups were visibly split by their experience but most people were having risible giggles.

All the comparisons to Malick thankfully wernt justified This was watchable and visualy arresting the non acting heightned the realismn.. thankfully no magical a film that lives with you afterwards

Disappointed alcy, his crew and brew disenchant and harden a clean, pretty kid for life as a scavenger/herdsman.

Contrived, long, poorly scripted, dull narrative. This pitiful attempt at cinema plays out like an overly long Sigur Ros music video. Cinema is ultimately for me connection between what's being shown on screen and the viewer but I remained vastly remote whilst watching this very low budget and tedious film. If you want to be bored silly then go and watch this nonsense. If you're too pretentious for your own good then sit squirming wishing you were somewhere else but pretending to be in 'awe' of the drivel here. It's a poorly executed but well meaning tale of desperation, the home, escape, loss and nature. Unfortunately it falls flat on it's face. So what it's got a little girl who does a 'mature' voice over every so often and gazes into the magic hour sunset. It's bloody boring and an oddly vacuous work. I really didn't enjoy it at all.

An engaging film and soundtrack that reminded me at times of Whale Rider and at other times The Road. Entrancing lead characters held my interest and attention as the film lurches from scene to scene.

Nice to know that (British) cynicism and sarcasm (posing, of course, as "irony") are alive and well in the persona of Mr Ince. Or perhaps he was just plastered.
