Hallie became motion sick and moved back to sit on the steps. But when Hallie and I re-connected after the screening we were beaming. HOLY SHIT! we loved BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD. my friend, sook-yin lee described it as ‘Malick meets Where the Wild Things Are’. at a Canada Day party last night, i was all fired up in talking to another filmmaker who said he would not see it because “it feels too close”. EVERYBODY! this movie is a must-see on the big screen. and, Michael Tully… i love how you write about it. i really appreciate how you write, period. and i cannot wait to see what you make next. respect, iv.
