'American Honey' is a beautiful made film that takes the audience on an non-stop road trip. Despite the runtime which I had an issue with some scenes, but didn't ruin the overall experience. The soundtrack itself was a show stealer.
Andrea Arnold, a foreigner, enters the American dream and the modern youth. With this movie however, I think it's gonna be hard for her to top this one. The sense of freedom and naturalism, making it almost documentary-like. Andrea is another director I'm keeping my eye on for her next project.
Shia LaBeouf delivers one of his best performance I've seen from him; Transformers? Never heard of it. An impressive film debut from Sasha Lane, which surprised me this is her first movie. She's going places, I can tell you that.
Looking back at 2016, you start to see a lot of great original cinema you may overlooked at the time. This is one of them.
