FAQs
Jonshel Alexander, a one-time child star who appeared opposite Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis in 2012's Beasts of the Southern Wild, died Saturday during a shooting in New Orleans. She was 22.
Faced with both her hot-tempered father's fading health and melting ice-caps that flood her ramshackle bayou community and unleash ancient aurochs, six-year-old Hushpuppy must learn the ways of courage and love.
Critics Reviews. It will not only stir your soul, but also open your mind to the possibility of a real-life Promised Land. Content collapsed. Overall, Beasts of the Southern Wild contains undeniable vision and ambition, even if the emotional clarity feels perhaps too certain for a child in the abstract world on display.
Hushpuppy's mother is long gone—“She swam away” is how Wink explains it—and her father is dying. One might say that Hushpuppy's journey involves her coming to terms with death and learning that what has been lost can be reclaimed as memory.
The movie never says what it is, but Wink seems to have some sort of heart problem that causes him a lot of pain and even makes him pass out from time to time. He's worried about what will happen to Hushpuppy when he dies, and he especially wants to train her for what Hushpuppy calls “the Big One.”
