Negative Positive
Title: I didn't get it...
Review: Part of that might have been because I simply couldn't understand a lot of what everyone was saying. In (what I can only assume was a key moment), when Hushpuppy was facing the Oryx, she says something, followed by "I have to take care of my own" (or something like that - going from memory). I replayed that at least 10 times on TIVO and couldn't figure it out. So if that was the key to the whole thing, it went right by me.If the point of the movie was to show the absolute squalor that some people have to endure in this supposedly greatest country in the world ... or if it was to show how some children adapt to it ... then this movie did a wonderful job. Other than that, I cannot grasp why it was nominated as a best picture.
Is the review positive or negative?
