Toutes A ses héroïnes partagent la même obsession pour une figure masculine virile, qui leur offre à la fois la libération qu’elles espèrent et le danger dont elles ont besoin pour se sentir vivantes. Lorsque le regard de Star (Sasha Lake) croise celui de Jake (Shia LeBeouf), la jeune femme voit chez le garçon, charismatique et effronté, l’opportunité de s’extraire d’un quotidien pesant dans lequel elle est forcée de s’occuper d’enfants qui ne sont pas les siens.

Where are we going? What are we doing when we get there? There’s an energy to the hazy days of those teenage years that’s hard to capture on film—a sense of constant motion toward an uncertain future. It’s often a push and pull between what we want to do and what we’re ready for, as phrased in the song that gives Andrea Arnold’s “American Honey” its name: “Steady as a preacher/Free as a weed/Couldn’t wait to get goin’/But wasn’t quite ready to leave.” This brilliant European filmmaker’s look at youth culture in the middle of America is full of exaggerated imagery of the heartland of http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/american-honey-2016 5/3/2017 American Honey Movie Review & Film Summary (2016) | Roger Ebert Page 2 of 5 the United States—men in cowboy hats grilling meat by a pool, oil fields blazing at night, a trucker listening to The Boss, an extravagant teenage girl’s birthday party—but its beating heart is in a story of youth.

  • Mahsa Khadem
    1 Mahsa Khadem Writing Center Award The Hearts Inside the High-Rises: Social Exclusion and Character Representation in Andrea Arnold’s Fish Tank The sound of breathless panting holds us curiously on the brink of Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank, evoking a visceral connection to the film's main character before we meet her and become immersed in her world. The opening shot then thrusts us in front of a teenager who is bent over, clearly spent, and catching her breath in the middle of a bare room with powder-blue walls stretching out behind her. This is our introduction to Mia, a 15-year-old who has just been acting out her dreams of becoming a dancer in an abandoned flat in the Essex housing estate where she lives. This apartment is a preciously secluded space for Mia, affording her rare moments of solitude and a chance to make hypnotically ritualized escapes into the world of hip hop; it temporarily offers her bluer skies than the reality outside. We glimpse this reality in the next shot as the camera hovers behind the protagonist, framing her shadowed figure against the window in what will become a visual motif throughout the film. The shot is striking as it establishes the character within the glass confines of her environment and aligns the audience with her gaze. Some deftly unobtrusive camerawork over Mia's shoulders then reveals signs of urban sprawl on the other side of the glass, and thus the protagonist of Fish Tank is situated in a socioeconomically disadvantaged environment that will become the backdrop for Andrea Arnold's intriguing exploration of social exclusion and human behavior.
