| Synopsis: Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in the Bathtub, a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink's tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he's no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, waters rise, temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. | |
| Review: The movie is full of poesy and emotion. Poesy by mixing reality and the fantasy of Hushpuppy. This is the reality of the 300 millions inhabitants of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). This is the fantasy of a kid grown up without mother. Emotion by the relationship father-daughter. The acting of Hushpuppy and Wink is very natural and warm. The special effects are simple and efficient. The camera and sound are very accurate. The director has an intersting biography, starting very young the directing. |
