What critics are saying about Honey Bunch in reviews
Top critics have highlighted the film’s thematic focus and structure. Nick Schager of The Daily Beast wrote, “An audacious indie that plumbs the depths of passion, loyalty, and sacrifice with beguiling earnestness and intensity.”
C.H. Newell of Father Son Holy Gore wrote, “Honey Bunch is a story about love and devotion. It’s just as much a story about how devotion can be warped into control that limits a loved one’s autonomy, even if the one devoting themselves to their love has the best of intentions.”
Sheila O’Malley of RogerEbert.com stated, “In an era of stark division, not to mention demands for simplistic storytelling one can absorb while doing household chores, ‘Honey Bunch’ revels in the uncertain, ungraspable, the neither-nor of it all.”
Lena Wilson of The Playlist called it “Wholly original and endlessly unexpected,” adding that it “takes a slew of tropes and turns them on their heads.”
Amber Dowling of The Globe and Mail described it as “a unique story that makes for fun alternative viewing to the same-old love stories populating screens this weekend.”
