Critics Consensus

American Honey offers a refreshingly unconventional take on the coming-of-age drama whose narrative risks add up to a rewarding experience even if they don't all pay off.

Jess Kibler Bitch Media A completely gorgeous and remarkable film... American Honey manages to depict the desperation of being a poor young person in a forgotten corner of America without condescending to or worshipping its destitute characters. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Karen Han CutPrintFilm American Honey is undeniably gorgeous. It's drenched in color; it drips with it like, yes, honey. In the center of it all is Sasha Lane as Star, just as bright (if not brighter), and impossible not to watch. Rated: 9/10 Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Adam Nayman Cinema Scope It's the strategic vaporousness of the entire enterprise-its canny refusal to be "about" anything except an immersion its own roiling, over-conscientiously detailed millennial milieu-that rankles. Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Arnold's elegiac and naked picture functions as a road adventure born of Dickens and Kerouac. Rated: 4/4 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants It's all the fixins. Pistol-whipped to perfection. My teeth positively ache for another helping of American Honey; I wanna eat until I pass right out. Rated: A Jul 2, 2021 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema Arnold's acumen with the subversiveness that lurks just beneath the surface is playfully reserved, bubbling up only when absolutely necessary. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

CRIMSON H My whole rating is because of the ending. The movie is 2 HR 44 MIN. Even though it has a Kevin Costnor run time it keeps you interested but then it ends. It answer no questions, no character arcs are finished, the story goes nowhere. So the ending ruins the movie. This is one movie I say don’t waste the time to watch it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Colin M A study of lowlife American youths getting by, travelling, selling magazines, stealing, having sex. Movie was too long at 2H 32 mins and lacked an ending. Nothing special here. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review TINA B I can't belive I had never heard of our seen this movie until today. A24 NEVER disappoints. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Audience Member shia carries this film with ease Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Mick V Believe it was a Grateful Dead trip, the bus, (not spoiling the ending). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Yura K A movie about the youth's freedom. The ending might be ambiguous. Throughout the whole journey, it clearly shows how it likes to be genuinely free and young. It feels like watching another world, outside of competitive capitalism society.
