movie AMERICANA | Sydney Sweeney, Halsey, Simon Rex; Early reviews - RT: 100, MC: 85

Quote

This movie wouldn’t be what it is without its rich and enjoyable cast — with Halsey and McClarnon being the standouts — of individuals who are determined, intelligent, uproarious and have different ideas of success and how to achieve it. It’s a microcosmic snapshot of Americana life.

The acclaim keeps pouring in for Miss Frangipané's performance. Is the A Star Is Born actress's A Star Is Born moment coming?

And yet, the clear standout is Halsey, in her feature acting debut. The singer-turned-actor infuses Mandy with a hunger for a better life that clearly comes from a painful past, communicating much with very little and playing off her co-stars to hilarious results.

Perhaps the standout is musician Halsey in her live-action acting debut as the beleaguered Mandy, attempting to escape her psychopathic criminal boyfriend.

That Halsey more than holds her own amid such a talented cast is a good sign of what’s to come. Their performance doesn’t strike a false note, even when the story takes some unexpected twists and hairpin turns. And anyone who’s seen her music video work was already well-aware that the “Without Me” chanteuse can hold a close-up.

The truth is that anyone that isn’t a bitter hater know that Halsey is one of a kind talent. She’s not the strongest vocalist there is but she excels in many fields and people whose job is to be objective can see that

[antoine_]

I’m honestly shocked that she is acclaimed, I was afraid would be cringe and try-hard. I can’t wait to see it now. She is serving quality as usual

More raves for Miss Halsey. What went right? @lillavend3r @The Witch @Repelex

 

Quote

 It is rare when I get to compare an American Indie to one of the all time greats, the 1991 Carl Frankin picture ONE FALSE MOVE starring Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton, but here we go. There are so many interconnecting characters around a priceless piece of Native wear that becomes stolen through a heist but channeling through a lot of connected people that is almost Altmanesque in its structure. Every moment is funny, weird and wholly original, even when I am referencing Carl Franklin. Heck, let’s throw in a bit of John Dahl and Quentin Tarantino while we are at it with a dash of Coen Brothers. Take it as a compliment. 

 

Mention must also go to musician Halsey for one of the best performances of the festival as a mother caught up in all the chaos, and boy does she kick some ass in this one.
