Americana (2024) – Blu-ray Disc Review

Studio: Lionsgate Home Entertainment | Runtime: 107 min | Rated: R | Release Date: October 28, 2025
Genre: Modern-Western / Crime-Drama

Video Quality — 4 / 5

The Blu-ray version features a 1080p HD encode. Video presentation is clean and respectable:

• Image is well-defined, with no noticeable compression artifacts or softness.
• Color grading aligns with the film’s Western-toned aesthetic: sunlit plains, dusty interiors, nighttime scenes all carry the intended atmosphere.
• Grain and texture appear natural and film-like, without heavy digital smoothing.
• Because it’s HD only (no 4K or HDR mentioned for this version), contrast and highlight “pop” are less dramatic than a UHD/HDR presentation would offer.

For a modern release in this genre it holds up nicely on a Blu-ray player and HD display.

Audio Quality — 4 / 5

Audio on this Blu-ray is strong, though not listed as a high-channel remix in all sources. According to release details:

• English Dolby Atmos track is indicated for some editions.For this standard edition, expect at least a solid 5.1 or higher track.
• Dialogue is clear, location ambience and sound design of the modern Western setting serve the story well.
• Music, action/crime elements and quieter character moments benefit from a well-balanced mix.

While this may not be demo-level audio, it is more than adequate for home theatre enjoyment.

Special Features — 3.5 / 5

Bonus material listed includes:

• Audio commentary with writer-director Tony Tost.
• Featurette titled “A Western Fairy Tale: The Making of Americana”
• Theatrical trailer included

No extensive behind-the-scenes or developer-level feature length doc reported. For a Blu-ray release this is a good set of extras, though light compared to deluxe editions.

⚖️ Overall — 4 / 5 ⭐

This Blu-ray edition of Americana delivers a very good HD presentation: solid image, robust audio and a useful special-features set. If you’re watching on 1080p and want a physical release of this modern Western, this disc is a worthy purchase. For UHD/HDR collectors it may not nab the highest marks, but it stands strong in its format.
