Amziah King’s Honey Empire and Family Drama | New Orleans News

Matthew McConaughey and newcomer Angelina LookingGlass deliver a heartfelt, buzzworthy drama in “The Rivals of Amziah King,” a rural Oklahoma tale of family, honey, and healing. With a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film blends McConaughey’s signature charm with a powerful Indigenous-led cast — hundreds auditioned for LookingGlass’ role, which she landed after an instant chemistry read with McConaughey. Directed by Andrew Patterson (known for “The Vast of Night”), the movie was self-financed and premiered at SXSW before hitting theaters August 14th, rolling nationwide August 21st. McConaughey calls it a “jolt of joy and mischief” — a feel-good film that leaves audiences with more soul than they came in with.
