The CinePearl Take
Andrea Arnold’s handheld style gives the film a documentary‑like immediacy that pulls you into the hive of a traveling honey‑selling crew. Lane’s unpolished yet magnetic performance shines, especially in moments when she confronts the emptiness behind the glitter of the American Dream. The pacing swerves between frantic chase scenes and quiet, reflective interludes, underscoring the film’s central theme: the fragile line between freedom and exploitation.
