The Burial of Kojo

Lots of inspiration from Beasts of the Southern Wild, except not quite as focused.

There were a few moments where the camera was placed in some strange places that I didn't like, but for the most part this is a gorgeously shot film, full of memorable imagery and a magical sense that plays a little like being in the afterlife. There's an odd but endearing soundtrack going on, as well, which also mostly works. Any authorial flaws it has are overshadowed by when it's on point, because it succeeds majorly and only fails minorly. A pretty original vision all around.
