Hushpuppy, a six-year old girl, lives in a community where her father is preparing her to a life without someone to protect her. A journey of a young girl with a suffering father from sickness, and a community about to sink as ice caps melt.

I cannot remember that much about this film. Saw this film once and I know I was entertained and yes, it has a good story in it. I remember the "hero" Hushpuppy (Quvenzhane Wallis) acting astonishingly, not only because she is very young, but because she really has something, with her actions and emotions, she delivered both the childliness and toughness the character needs. Moreover, I found it really amazing how the team, the director, the creators, made it look as if this huge and wild animal is real.
Good job!
