	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Beasts of the Southern Wild' is a game-changer that gets you excited about movies again. Star Quvenzhané Wallis is a flat-out amazement (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Sometimes miraculous films come into being, made by people you've never heard of, starring unknown faces, blindsiding you with creative genius. 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' is one of the year's best films (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"An exceptional indie feature (...) One of the most striking films ever to debut at the Sundance Film Festival (...) a poetic evocation of an endangered way of life"
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Movies that mix magic and gritty realism almost never work , but Zeitlin, who is making an auspicious feature directing debut, pulls it off with awesome results (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"A stunning debut"
