"She was sixteen, it was her time."
This is one of the movies that at first, feels boring, i literally almost fell asleep. but as it goes on, i realised that the boredom is intentional because i truly felt like i was experiencing Mia's everyday life: her loneliness, her boredom, her restlessness, and that feeling of wanting to escape a place...having a dream without knowing what is it or how to reach it. it's touching in such a real devastating and quiet way. and for me i know a movie has truly affected me when i find myself feeling deeply empathetic towards its characters. throughout the whole movie, especially by the end... all i wanted is to hug Mia.
I think I'm slowly falling in love with how Andrea Arnold tells stories, i've watched American honey before,and there's just something incredibly raw and beautiful about her characters and the people she choses to follow that feeling.
