Beasts of the Southern Wild
I'm not really sure where to begin describing this film. The mix of fantasy elements with the story told from the point of view of a child makes for a wonderful experience. In particular, seeing Wink's relationship with Hushpuppy from her point of view is amazingly well done. When Wink goes into a drunken rage the experience is horrifying, when he's taking care of hushpuppy and his love is shining through it's heartwarming, and the contrast is, in itself, gut wrenching. In all, I absolutely loved this film. It was definitely worthy of all the Academy nominations it received, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
