Starring Shia laBeouf, Sasha Lane, and written / directed by Andrea Arnold, American Honey tells the story of teenage misfits in a travelling magazine sales crew…

I clicked on the trailer because I saw Labeouf’s name but I kept on watching because of Sasha Lane. Even though the movie won the coveted  Jury Prize at the 2016 Cannes Film, I realised that the trailer wasn’t doing much to convince me to see it. Reason being, there doesn’t seem to be much that’s particularly new about the story. Selena Gomez and James Franco’s  Spring Breakers (2013) came to mind as something potentially similar.

Maybe we’ll all be pleasantly surprised. I’d love for my initial impression to be wrong. Maybe I’ll find out soon.

American Honey Release Dates September 30th, 2016 (US); October 14th, 2016 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving 🙂
