The CinePearl Take
Beasts of the Southern Wild is a 2012 English film that blends fantasy, drama and magic realist — expect world-building and a sense of wonder and character-driven, emotional storytelling. Benh Zeitlin directs and the script comes from Lucy Alibar and Benh Zeitlin. Dwight Henry and Quvenzhané Wallis are among the leads. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 2012, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 93 minutes, it keeps a brisk pace.
