Just finished watching Beasts of the southern wild. Interesting movie but I was often wondering whether it would go anywhere while checking the time. Not a good sign for a 90 minute movie. The main problem with it is the excessive use of shaky cam, making it often tiring and occasionally hard to watch. A shame since the 16mm images give it a great look.

The story is good with some great characters. Behn Zeitlin should have left some of the deleted scenes in though, Hushpuppy suddenly running of with the gang of girls was a weird step that didn't make sense until the deleted scenes.
