Re: “Don't believe the hype about Beasts of the Southern Wild”
Isaac, If it were me, I would think real hard before panning a film that won top awards at Sundance and Cannes, a film that received rave reviews from major publications (New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, etc) and reviewers such as Roger Ebert who compared it to Faulkner. If it were me, I would think maybe it was me--- maybe I missed the boat. Have you never read a book? A poem? Mythology? What I get from your article is an a priori aversion to poverty and any compassion for same; an aversion to the aftermath of natural disasters; frankly, an aversion to anything different from your world view. Watch it again and let your love of great story telling, your love of the dimensions of humanity in its infinite variation of forms lead you.
