Fox Searchlight Pictures & Entertainment One, 2012
A story about an adventurous, curious, 6 year old girl. Now, that sounds like how any other child would be, but Hushpuppy was different. Living off the grid doesn't seem like it would be easy to have as a lifestyle, but for everyone living in "The Bathtub" it became normal. In hard times she would call out to her mom to talk to even though her mom passed away, she wasn't really close to her father. After a series of events they end up breaking the wall separating the city from the Bathtub, but it causes a flood and a lot of people living there got sick or injured and needed medical care.
This movie goes through so many events, but it kept me engaged. I love how independent Hushpuppy was and how they made the connection with her and aurochs. To me it symbolizes that she's a strong person and just keeps going through the motion. I've seen other films where it shows a child or young adult being independent and finding their way through life, but this movie was different from others. You kind of have to pay close attention so that you can grasp the full story of the movie, but over all this was a great movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
