	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"A rich and rewarding reworking of the road movie (...) American Honey is choppy and episodic but it’s also a film full of grace notes (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"A ravishing blend of feminine picaresque and iTunes musical."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Some will embrace it as an audacious freeform subculture odyssey, laced with moments of lyricism, while others will shrug at its baggy running time and paucity of narrative incident. Either way though, it's definitely something to be seen."	POS
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"'American Honey' may test some viewers' patience, but for this one, it paid off with an unflinching portrait of middle America (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A firmer hand with the plot – and with Shia LaBeouf – might have benefitted this admirably loose-limbed and atmospheric immersion into a little-seen world (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It probes the murk and terror beneath the surface of contemporary life, and illuminates the vital role of ignorance, poor judgment and wishful thinking in our national character."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"'American Honey' (...) is the closest thing to a magnum opus in Arnold's blossoming career (...) The movie unfolds as a cyclical meditation on the search for meaning in an empty landscape that stretches out in every direction"	POS
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"Messy, magnificent road movie (...) and blessed with two amazing performances. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
