AMERICANA (2025) REVIEW | MULTI-NARRATIVE WESTERN WITH HUMOR, VIOLENCE & SMALL-TOWN VIBES | LOFT 801
#americana #crime #comedy #neowestern #wyoming #southdakota #sydneysweeney #moviereview #loft801 Tony Tost’s Americana (2025) is a neo-western crime comedy that follows a tangled web of outsiders chasing a stolen Lakota Ghost Shirt across South Dakota and Wyoming. Penny Jo (Sydney Sweeney), a shy waitress dreaming of Nashville, teams up with lonely veteran Lefty (Paul Walter Hauser), while Mandy (Halsey) struggles to escape her abusive, cult-like family. Add in Dillon (Eric Dane), a shady antiquities dealer (Simon Rex), and Cal (Gavin Maddox Bergman), who thinks he’s Sitting Bull reincarnated, and it all builds to a violent small-town standoff. Mixing dark humor, revenge fantasy, and rural grit, Americana captures the beauty and bleakness of the modern West. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reviewed and edited by: / @diegohigueros ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our Official Website (Under Construction): https://www.loft801.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodfriends Podcast / @thegoodfriendspodcast ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All Wavy by tubebackr / tubebackr Creative Commons — Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported — CC BY-ND 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3u39uiR Music promoted by Audio Library • All Wavy – tubebackr (No Copyright Music) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro & Spoiler Warning. 00:25 A Layered Plot. 01:26 Time-Consuming. 02:04 Cultural Appropriation & Oppression. 02:31 Great Cast & Characters. 04:07 Cinematography & Score. 04:43 Conclusion & Rating – Messy but Rewarding. 05:27 Outro & Thank You. #breakdowns #synopsis #cinema #review #reviews #youtube #loft801 #community #breakdown #overview #filmcritic #film #films #movie #movies #indie #indiefilm #indiemovie #americana #americanamovie #americanareview #americana2025 #americanamoviereview #american #america #crime #crimecomedy #comedy #thriller #neowestern #western #modernwestern #drama #sydneysweeney #paulwalterhauser #halsey #ericdane #simonrex #tonytost #sittingbull #lakota #smalltown #rural #ruralaamerica #southdakota #wyoming #revenge #country #standoff #noir #cult #homestead #shorts
