Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

So much average

Awesome Movie

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Last year best movie. Don't listen consumer low iq population and their 1 star reviews. They simply don't get it and they probably never will.

A very typical work of an absolutely talentless cinema/drama sophomore hipster who has no insight nor any idea about himself or life in general but wants to shoot movies. This movie doesn't say anything that no moron with a mediocre mind doesn't know since he or she was 10 years old. Such a waste of money for the producer company and a waste of time for the viewer. It was so bad, I feel like not seeing any films for some time. It is like food poisoning only worse because you can't throw up. Film poisoning. It's an insult to all the movies that has 7 and less rating on imdb. Google says comedy for this film. It's true. Not its genre but this movie and its rating on imdb is a joke. If your son or daughter decides to follow their passion or dreams of becoming something that they are absolutely talentless at make them sit and watch this movie for two and a half hours. Hopefully they will understand unlike the guy who decided to become a writer instead of anything else and made this film. If you liked this movie please neglect everything I said. You're hopeless.

Andrea Arnold's debut movie, Red Road, is a shocking social documentary style movie that is breathtaking in its boldness and unflinching in its depiction of a Glasgow underclass that most of us do not know.  American Honey does a similar job of depicting an American class that's seldom caught on screen and was cast mainly from the street.It too is pretty unflinching in its depiction of drug taking, young sex and the unwinding of an American dream; of sorts.It's a road movie that follows the fortunes of 18 year old abused runaway, Star, and her relationship with a group of young magazine salespeople touring the country looking for door to door sales in a variety of American housing schemes (both rich and poor).It leads to an episodic series of events that range from amusing to totally horrific.Arnold's style is uncompromising.  It, like Grand Budapest Hotel, is shot in square (Instagram) format which gives it a certain contemporaneity and the photography, that is mainly cinema verite, occasionally bursts into beautiful, glorious, rich warmth such that it takes your breath away.It's a compelling performance by Sasha Lane as Star and Shia LaBeouf also impresses as her mentor and, later, lover.  Riley Keogh is also excellent as the aloof, slightly terrifying team leader who lives a separate life of relative luxury while her band of stoner sales people rough it in hostels.But it's an uncomfortable ride that rewards your patience.

In a post Thatcher/Reagan era which seemed to pin point a generational shift in the U.K.into an age when individual materialism became an accepted lifestyle , how refreshing it is to see a U K socialist realist perspective on that part of this generation born in America , however . A film out of the stable which has evolved via television and "shameless"/"breaking bad" character drama. "American Honey" is real cinematic quality, with characters and a mis en scene that offers no simple solutions; thus, a home and family loving truck driver is seen to be earning money driving animals ,packed in a wagon, to the abattoir; the lead character pees in the grass and pulls up her trousers while gazing over an American landscape of iconic beauty. There is no one who is genuinely villainous, and no one who is truly heroic perfection.There is just the fight to survive, materially, culturally, mentally in a free enterprise American society of inequality , Mexican walls, Bible Belts,meth addict mothers, Donald Trump, lost truths, love,natural wonders,oil fields,and maybe an American Dream.
