American Honey
Cannes-winning coming-of-age road movie from Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank). A teenage girl with nothing to lose joins a traveling magazine sales crew, and gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying, law bending and young love as she criss-crosses the Midwest with a band of misfits. Co-stars Shia LaBeouf.

American Honey / Reviews
Time Out
A bold film, full of energy and spunk, but a patchy, half-formed, rambling one too.

Los Angeles Times
The camera races and races to keep this fast and furious young woman locked in its sights, turning her into an object of both pursuit and contemplation.

Hollywood Reporter
A road movie without a map that nonetheless arrives at a worthwhile destination.
