American Honey would certainly not have been my #1 choice to win the top prizes at the 2016 British Independent Film Awards, but Andrea Arnold's an excellent filmmaker, and I'm super happy that a female director has triumphed. Plus, the rest of BIFA's choices are solid, including a healthy haul for Babak Anvari's Under the Shadow and a win for Notes on Blindness. Good stuff on the whole, and you know I like a bit of good stuff on my whole. Remember their nominations? No? They're here, and their awards are...
