5 star rating THE Screened Review by Matthew Marko

Powerful and awe-inspiring, this tale of childhood wonder and the painful lessons of growing up manages to sidestep preachiness to achieve true cinematic magic.
GB review user review
Benh Zeitlin director

A young girl cares for her sickly father and searches for her mother in a fantasy version of a Louisiana bayou.

Quote: Hushpuppy

When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me lying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. And when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I'm a little piece in a big, big universe. And that makes things right. When I die, the scientists of the future, they're gonna find it all. They gonna know, once there was a Hushpuppy, and she live with her daddy in the Bathtub.
