there are so many extraordinary moments, beautiful shots and intoxicating rushes of pure teenage adrenalin in British filmmaker Andrea Arnold's fractured portrait of American teenagers
"American Honey" might have benefited from some trimming, but I admire Arnold's resistance: Each vignette here is a key part of a young woman's life-changing journey. To insist on telling it all feels like a feminist act, butt-numbing length be damned
