Dear bees, I am telling you this with love (in the event that you might choose to sting me otherwise). The film was okay - the story was interesting, and the rigid time period was well portrayed. However, there was a little too much melodrama, the script was sometimes heavy handed, and the acting wasn't always on point (from the humans, not your insectile sisterhood). So, sorry for the sting in this tale, but the film wasn't as good as it could have been. Tell me to buzz off if you want to dear bees, but that is all I have to say on the matter.

An odd duck of a tale but you could tell its heart is in the right place. The dialogue felt a bit wooden at times, in writing and delivery; Jean's especially which is a disappointment for an actor such as Anna Paquin. Maybe it was the accent throwing her off. The chemistry between the women was on point though which leaves the ending so bittersweet. I hope they both found happiness in more accepting places.

Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger star in the period drama Tell It to the Bees. The story follows a single mother who’s been abandoned by her husband and is taken in by a local doctor when she and her son are evicted from their home. The acting isn’t very good and neither is the script. It doesn’t seem to know whose story this is, and at the end it throws in some LGB propaganda; future taking it away from being a character story. A poorly made film, Tell It to the Bees meanders about and is fairly pointless.
