What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith Pluck in the eye of the storm. | 15 | |
Cape Times Todd McCarthy It's very much an art piece, but it feels like a genuine one that speaks fluently and truly for the place, people and culture it so indelibly depicts. | 20 | |
Box Office Ray Greene For once, you can believe the hype. | 18 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Sometimes miraculous films come into being, made by people you've never heard of, starring unknown faces, blindsiding you with creative genius. Beasts of the Southern Wild is one of the year's best films. | 20 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli The film is interesting and original, but it's also a source of repeated frustration that mutes its accessibility and effectiveness. | 13 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Hold on for a game-changer that gets you excited about movies again. It's called Beasts of the Southern Wild. It's won every prize from Sundance to Cannes. | 20 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs An impressive debut all around, Beasts of the Southern Wild is unlike most anything you'll see this year | 15 | |
