Andrea Arnold is an English filmmaker. She is one of my absolute favorite directors and I recommend that you watch all of her films, including the shorts. If you're totally new to her work, start with "Fish Tank" (2009).
Vibe:
A road movie … of the post-millennium, blue collar America, fever dream type. Arnold assembled a motley crew of non-actors from Wal-Mart parking lots and Florida Panhandle beaches. She combines this with Robbie Ryan’s inspired cinematography: think many lens flares, hand held shots and an overall satisfying yellow palette.
