That kid is a Wes Anderson character trapped in a Coen brothers movie.
AlexAug 15, 2025I wish this didn’t take 2 years to release because halsey is seriously so freaking good here
joeMar 17, 2023Got to sit among a few hundred strangers in the gorgeous Paramount theater for our SXSW world premiere. It went better than I could've hoped. There will be ebbs and flows and it's not going to connect with everyone. Etc etc. But man oh man, it sure felt like it connected…

- zxki is "meh" onAmericana
"Genes are pased down from parant to osspring, often determening traits from hair colur to personality to even eye colur - my genes are blue." Anyway, the performances are meh, except for maybe the kid and Hauser. The story is great, but the pacing is choppier than Sweeney's fake speech impediment.…
Christian Lilly likedAmericanaI don’t think this movie is nearly as good as the several movies it takes inspiration from, but I still definitely enjoyed it for what it is. It’s an entertaining ensemble movie with a unique cast of characters that have fun quirks. I thought the relationship between the two main characters was…
Jimmy Metheney likedAmericanaOther than Sydney Sweeny’s terrible attempt at a speech impediment, I liked it a lot. Just my opinion but I think Halsey stole every scene she was in.
- Lee likedAmericana
Similar to the underrated and better Vengenace, this is a neo western with some fun side characters. Leans more into comedy than drama, and has more kills than you'd expect. Sweeney isn't the lead, but I find it funny they think her having a stutter would make her unattractive.
Jayjayj625 dislikedAmericanaThe first 10 mins were good, then it was a mess. Overstuffed and all over the place plot. Too much convenience in the story. By the time the “finale” happened, and it took an hour to get good again, I was just waiting for the credits, which still took forever.
Tristan likedAmericanaThis movie was pretty random not too much advertising for it but it was good. One of those slow build up kind of movies and that’s ok I enjoyed most of the characters and the interactions they had with each other person in their individual stories.
- AJ Zeppenfeld likedAmericana
I had no expectations for this one and for the most part I enjoyed it. Sydney Sweeney definitely has great jeans but she's less the centerpiece and more a cog in an ensemble cast wheel. Falls apart a bit toward the end but still a 👍 from me.
Chelee likedAmericanaI actually really liked this. Though I’m not sure what genre or category you would put it in. I wish Halsey would do more acting, I love to see her on my screen. The most annoying thing about this was SS, which isn’t surprising
Kyah Gale-Neal lovedAmericanaI actually really enjoyed this… I definitely cried at the end. it was pretty and tender and frightening at times with undertones of chaos, but it culminated into a beautiful film. Loved the acting and HALSEY😻

With this cast, the film should have been a knockout. Instead, it feels bogged down, heavy, and way too concerned with making statements instead of just being entertaining.

The film is blessed with a fairly strong cast and while it isn’t nearly enough to make it succeed as a whole, whatever degree that certain scenes do work are almost entirely due to their efforts.

Though Hauser and Sweeney can’t exactly save the movie, they keep it from derailing.
