FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/americana-movie-review-the-weight-of-tradition-in-a-modern-western-key/ "Americana carries thematic richness and characters with emotionally satisfying arcs, brought to life by an inspired cast. It's true that the narrative loses some power in questionable structural choices and a genre fusion that, while ambitious, doesn't always succeed. But Tony Tost debuts with a film that reveals passion, personal identity, and a clear connection to his cultural background. With just a bit more consistency in execution, this could easily have been one of the year's most memorable movies." Rating: B
