American Honey | comment |
American Honey is a 2016 drama film directed by Andrea Arnold, starring Sasha Lane, Shia LaBeouf, and Riley Keough. Star is a teenaged girl in Oklahoma who happens to come across a traveling “mag crew”—a bunch of poor teenagers who go door-to-door selling magazine subscriptions. The crew is led by Krystal and Jake, the latter who draws Star in with his charms. With nothing to lose, Star runs away from home to join the crew on the road and goes on a journey of self-discovery, law-bending, and first love.The film was released by A24 in the United States and in the United Kingdom by Universal Pictures. It received critical acclaim and earned a BAFTA nomination for Best British Film. The members of the mag crew were played by unknown actors the director found herself while scouring beaches, streets, and state fairs. | |
