Description

Teeming with magic, beauty and pure joy, this crowd-pleasing winner at the Sundance Film Festival has emerged as one of the year’s most acclaimed films. Newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis delivers an “Oscar-worthy performance” (Philadelphia Daily News) as Hushpuppy, the tenacious six-year-old force of nature in an isolated bayou community. When her tough but loving father Wink (Dwight Henry) succumbs to a mysterious malady, the fierce and determined girl bravely sets out on a journey to save him. But Hushpuppy’s quest is hindered by a “busted” universe that melts the ice caps and unleashes an army of prehistoric beasts.

  • iTunes Ruined an Amazing Movie

    Amazing and inspiring movie, one of the best I've ever seen... but iTunes' quality is terrible!!! All of my iTunes movies are supposed to be "HD" quality, but look like 480p on my 15" Macbook Pro. What is up, iTunes??? I paid for an HD version of this movie in itunes hoping to get good quality... I will never make that mistake again. I should have gone with my gut and bought from the Google Play store for the same price.

  • A different kind of film

    This movie is incredibly boring. Until you realize that the storyline isn’t important. It’s not about what happens so much as the characters it happens to. It’s about one girl who had to grow up sooner than most little girls have to. It’s a series of moving paintings that understands everything about humanity and about art and synthesizes the two beautifully. Really, this is a must-see.

    Beautiful family film that we watched with our young son who also loved it. The acting is superb, real and draws you in. The locations are very special. Thumbs up to the locations scout, casting agent and set designers. Special, thought provoking movie for the whole family. Highly recommend!

    This movie is stunningly beautiful and honest. The purity and raw commitment from the leads are jaw dropping. It is honestly hard to describe in words how amazing this movie is.

    I just caught a glympse of this movie and strangely found myself glued to the screen to find out how it ended. I later rented it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd say so much more but I don't want to give it away to anyone who hasn't seen it, so let me just say you won't move from your seat once you start watching this one.

  • Masterpiece

    Quite simply, an American masterpiece and a testament to mankind’s will to survival. With supreme irreverence, it rejects all of hollywood’s mechanisms in favor of a more personal style of storytelling based on strong characters and an ambience in the gray-zone between reality and dreamscape.
