The Film Stage
It’s visually astonishing and often devastating, too. This might be the freshest film about young people in America since Larry Clark’s Kids. - 100
The Telegraph
You could also argue that this almost intentionally exhausting film is too much of a good thing. But there’s amazingly little of it you'd want to live without. - 100
Variety
Part dreamy millennial picaresque, part distorted tapestry of Americana and part exquisitely illustrated iTunes musical, “Honey” daringly commits only to the loosest of narratives across its luxurious 162-minute running time. Yet it’s constantly, engrossingly active, spinning and sparking and exploding in cycles like a Fourth of July Catherine wheel. - 91
IndieWire
It's the closest thing to a magnum opus in Arnold's blossoming career. - 91
The Playlist
It is indulgent in its length and relative plotlessness, though there’s no point at which the bravado of Arnold’s filmmaking, Lane’s riveting performance or Ryan’s stunning Polaroid-shaped lensing ever flag. - 80
The Guardian
There is a great performance here from Sasha Lane and this is another step onwards and upwards for Andrea Arnold herself. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
The film works best as a poignant character study, observing Star as she settles into her independence and figures out who she wants to be, framed by a vast physical landscape that stretches socioeconomically from privileged wealth to squalid poverty. There's a wonderful intimacy in the way Arnold examines young women in her films. - 60
Time Out London
It's a bold film, full of energy and spunk, but a patchy, half-formed, rambling one too.
