For me, this was an emotionally stirring movie, a very rare accomplishment for a movie. The root, a father's attempt to raise, protect and provide for his child. Quvenzhane Wallis was wonderful in the role of Hushpuppy her scenes of bravado reverting to childlike fear and wonder are amazing. But it's Dwight Henry that this movie belongs to. As Wink, her father, he drinks too much, is distant, and seemingly uncaring, but the looks on his face, those moments that express so much love, insecurity, despair are heartbreaking and the strength of this movie. What he won't express in words and sometimes in actions, his face gives away. Not a movie for everyone, but one I'd recommend to anyone who still wants to believe is strong storytelling and powerful film making.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
