Beasts of the Southern Wild
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Young, brave, "I'M THE MAN!" Quvenzhané Wallis and a lot of dangerous beasts called "Orox".
Scene Pop: A "Orox" crashes through several houses and buildings.
Briggs Breakdown: 4 critic pull quotes, 2 festival tags, 5 roman candles, one heavy-handed Katrina allegory, several "Oroxs", a cave drawing tattoo, and one very dangerous house roof/barricade.
Effective?: Yes, though mainly only for art-house fans right now.
Check it Out?: Yes, though I do have a few reservations. It comes off a little too Malick-esque with this trailer cut, which makes me wary for any signs of pretentiousness. However, it does look spellbindingly beautiful and rough, and it could definitely be the Whale Rider of the year, including the strange PG-13 rating.
