The movie
Show notes
THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2012 retrospective continues with the breakout independent film of that year: Benh Zeitlin's beautifully realized feature directorial debut, " Beasts Of The Southern Wild ," starring Quvenzhané Wallis & Dwight Henry. Critically acclaimed upon its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, the film sustained its buzz throughout the year to pull off a miraculous awards campaign for Searchlight Pictures. What do we think of the film a decade later? Tune in below as Josh Parham , Lauren LaMagna , Dan Bayer , Danilo Castro , and I discuss the film's themes, performances, cinematography, score, awards season run, etc. You can also check out all of our previous 2012 retrospective reviews for " Zero Dark Thirty ," " Skyfall ," & " Amour " if you have not done so already.
