    Super slow and just really not that good.

    Plot is all wtf, soundtrack is all in your face (ears) and ending is all like "well you could at least hold her straight, jeez"

    ★★★★

    This movie does a fantastic job at showing how the world looks through young Hushpuppy's eyes. It felt like a fairytale at times, horror story at other times, and maybe that's the point.

    Scares the bejesus out of me every time. I love the attention to detail in his steady downward spiral. The intense obsession over something as mundane as business cards... those scenes always stay in my mind after watching this movie.
