Negative Positive
Title: Unusual, unpredictable, filled with metaphors
Review: If you look at the prehistoric beasts and the melting glaciers as metaphors, you will have a better comprehension of little Hushpuppy's mind and her fears and worries. She is a young girl whose father is dying and she lives in a swamp in poverty with very little supervision and virtually no education. Still, she is scrappy enough to weather the storm, literally, and later on to deal with something a bit closer to home. She must face the beasts--her fears--in order to go on, even with her innate resiliency.The tiny actor playing her does a great job of being natural and completely un-self-conscious.
