Yet another best picture nominee for the upcoming 85th Academy Awards and yet another film i had heard little and nothing about prior. Not saying it wasn't a good film as it was due much to the fact that it was something that Hollywood lacks in lately and that is originality. This film is about 6yr old Hushpuppy a lil girl who is being brought up by her father alone in a poor little shanty town in Louisiana known as Bathtub. Hushpuppie's mother is no longer in the picture as she left her father years before for which i can only guess is his drinking and anger issues?
Hushpuppy has to grow up fast both looking after her ailing father and constantly crying out for a mother who isnt there. Now i have mentioned prior that the film itself is a best picture nominee however what i didnt mention and was nother prime reason i wanted to see this is the young actress (6yrs old in real life when filmed) Quvenzhane' Wallis is also nominated making her the youngest nominee ever for the best actress category I have seen the film she deserves it as she was in fact very impressive in this for being such a tender age.
I must admit that the film itself is a tad bizarre although that only adds to it's beauty.
