WENDY š

In 2012, Benh Zeitlinās BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD was my favorite film of that year and Iāve returned to watch Hushpuppy navigate the bathtub countless times.
Sadly, Benh Zeitlinās follow-up WENDY tries to create the same magic, yet fails to transcend to the great heights of BEASTS.
A quote from WENDY: āAll children grow up, for most it just happens like a change in the weather. But for some. The wild ones. The ones with the light in their eyes. Escape.ā
Hereās hoping that Benh Zeitlin āescapesā this misstep and makes something that once again captures that deeply-personal feeling of what it is like to be a child. Hereās hoping that he has another story in him that makes Hushpuppy proud.
WENDY is available to rent on Amazon Prime and Apple TV
