Beasts of the Southern Wild 2012
Easily one of the most beautiful pieces of filmmaking I’ve ever seen.
Zeitlin and Court 13 have somehow seamlessly merged the mythical and the real with a beating heart of endurance, love, and courage as an ode to the lives flourishing where we don’t see them. And to think it’s done on such a small independent scale is nothing short of revelatory.

The cast were brilliant with Washington taking command from the moment he opens on screen until his final scene, channeling an agent determined to ensure the safety of his…
