This movie was good. But for some reason I thought I'd be captivated by it...after reading other reviews and seeing the nominations.

I thought it was cool but at times I was like "get to the good part"...and it's like it came close but no cigar.

I did love watching hush puppy and wink together. several scenes between the two of them were great. And when she burned down the house...goodness that child.

She was very good. I can't say great because during some of narration she sounded like she was just reading. And I understand she's young...so I can't fault that but that doesn't mean I'll let it pass and say she's great.

the end was incredibly moving...
