A little girl named Hushpuppy is raised on the margins of society in the Louisiana swamps, with an insane father and lots of floor-stompin', jug-swillin', toothless bayou stereotypes. The "point" of the movie (I suppose) is to show how the least of the world (the smallest insect/these people) are just as vital as everything/everyone else, and that these people are slowly being killed off to the detriment of the planet..."balance of nature" metaphors abound. Also, retarded dialogue, hammy acting, clumsy surrealism, and nauseating camera moves are in full supply. I couldn't wait for it to be over. What a crock of shit.
So, I should see it?
