Review of American Honey (2016) by Claire M — 11 Mar 2017
Something a lot of the reviews I see scrolling through this site a missing the most important things about American Honey! This is a coming of age story with a protagonist who is a poor woman of color.
I could relate to her because the way her character is written and acted is more realistic than any teenage female character I've seen in a movie. She is sexually assaulted without it defining her, taken advantage of, and has her period.
It is also beautifully shot and has a lot of interesting characters--some played by real teenagers who had never acted before. I also disagree that the movie was too long; in fact, I wanted more.
