Faced with both her hot-tempered father's fading health and melting
ice-caps that flood her ramshackle bayou community and unleash ancient
aurochs, six-year-old Hushpuppy must learn the ways of courage and love.
Amazingly well crafted fantasy on a low budget with a magnificent central performance that has even manages to give its story a philosophical dimension.
Maltin***: "Well worth seeing for the rich layering of ideas, production design, and exceptional performances, though life lessons here are sometimes lost in the waters that overflow the community of Bathtub, and the harshness of that world seems at odds with the resplendent cinematography."
