We Love These Underrated Movies, and You Should Too

American Honey (2016)

American Honey is an A24 movie about poverty, humility, childhood, and freedom. Instead of highlighting a "family" that's facing their poverty and making the best of it, American Honey is about seeking refuge and escape from that poverty in the form of substance abuse, manipulation, and unlikely friendship. This movie is a little difficult to watch, and the acting seems a little canned, but it's absolutely worth your energy if you consider yourself an empathetic person who wants to learn about the plight of displaced kids from the south.
