I just tried to watch Beasts of the Southern Wild [View all]

Delightful story, wonderful premise, and impossible to watch because of the constant moving of the camera.
I actually got a mild case of vertigo, and felt cross eyed thruout the film until I had to bail halfway thru.
Both the rapid moving of the camera and the repeated extremely quick cuts made every scene a huge effort to follow.

Anyone else have a problem watching it?

I'm not sure what you mean by that, Netflix has nothing to do with it. Son of Gob Apr 2013 #7
