I'm a bit late to the party here but I finally saw Andrea Arnold's American Honey and it blew me away.
It's
up there with the best of her gritty British work; Red Road (2006) and
Fish Tank (2009), but this time she takes us on a road trip through the
heart of the American Midwest with enigmatic newcomer Sasha Lane, Shia
LaBeouf (in a career best performance) and a motley crew of
happy-go-lucky teenage magazine sellers.
Once
again presented in Arnold's preferred 4:3 aspect ratio, the film feels
fresh and euphoric, with dazzling cinematography by Robbie Ryan and a
pumping, irresistible soundtrack. I would go as far as to say it's in my
top 10 films of the decade so far.
