Beasts of the Southern Wild is a very deserving award winning film. It centers on a five-year-old girl, Hushpuppy, who is pressured by her father to sort of "man up" so as to be able to survive should he perish. Their relationship is rather crude, yet has this element of adorability.
Hushpuppy lives in a community in an island isolated from urbanization. They live with a strong sense of survival and pride (for a small number of them), that when a storm is about to hit their area, Hushpuppy, her father, and a few others stand through it.
This movie will get to any human. There are moments when you might feel like crying, but you hold it in and "man up" because somehow the movie prepares you for that. Somehow.
I would definitely recommend this movie. Keep a pillow or something/someone you can hug close by.
