Good Decisions
Well, it was the hit (and Grand Jury Prize winner) at Sundance, so it obviously made a lot of good decisions. This trailer is great at blurring what the film could be. Is it a family drama? Is it a fantasy? Is it some weird mixture of the two? Plus, it's been years since Katrina, but the United States still feels the catastrophic results of that time - New Orleans will be a good setting for any film for years to come.
Bad Decisions
I'm not sure - it's very independent, so its reach won't be too wide. It's the early (VERY early) frontrunner for Best Picture, but, though it took over Sundance, it still was released really early and now premieres wider during the time of the summer blockbusters.
Jury Still Out
It's pretty much a completely new everything here - cast, director, writer. Quvenzhané Wallis looks like a great young actress, but a 91 minute film is tough for an 8-year-old to carry. Director Banh Zeitlin's first feature film has already made an impact in the independent community. Let's see if it can expand its effect.
Release Date: July 27, 2012 (limited)
