One of our favourite trailers of the year – see below – is finally hitting theatres!

Beasts of the Southern Wild, a critical darling that won the Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic at Sundance and the Caméra d’Or at Cannes, begins its limited release this week – a release that will hopefully expand soon.

To say the film has been well-reviewed would be an understatement.

Rolling Stone: “A game-changer that gets you excited about movies again.”

New York Observer: “Unlike anything you’ve seen before or will likely ever see again.”

AV Club: A “remarkable, lyrical feature debut.”
