What to Know

Critics Consensus

Americana blends gritty charm, compelling performances, and cultural resonance, but its lack of narrative focus and inconsistent execution keep it from fully realizing its potential.

Kyle Logan Chicago Reader Americana delivers as an enjoyable neo-western with some things to say and requisite genre thrills, but it’s unlikely to be remembered. Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Brianna Zigler AV Club The clichéd, forgettable work neither succeeds as a spoof nor as an earnest genre exercise by a wannabe indie-phenom wannabe. Rated: D+ Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Though Hauser and Sweeney can’t exactly save the movie, they keep it from derailing. Rated: 3/4 Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Jayne Nelson Radio Times And so a sprawling chase movie ensues, with its eclectic cast and their interconnected storylines balancing impeccably. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Halsey steals the show in Tony Tost's decent Coen Brothers and Tarantino-style neo-western. Rated: 3/5 Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Shawn Peer That Shelf There are glimpses of a stronger film within Americana, but its inability to commit to a specific story and or central character results in a muddled experience that struggles to resonate with audiences.

A little long though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Justin I really liked this movie. I was interested from start to finish and Sydney Sweeney was amazing. She really shined in this. Definitely worth a watch if you like dark comedy and movies that are off the wall. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Richard B Slow build up to a great ending. Both Sweeney and Halsey carried their own Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
