Critic Reviews of "The Secret Life of Bees"
Time OutDecember 05, 2008There's a purity, clarity and honesty to this feminist heart-warmer's melodramatic instincts that make it surprisingly moving and satisfying.
Philadelphia InquirerOctober 23, 2008The filmmakers give Latifah and Fanning room to create characters that breathe in the sweet smell of clover and breathe out the contented sigh of independence.
Chicago TribuneOctober 20, 2008Sweat and good intentions, however, will take you only so far. And they take Bees right up to the threshold of entertaining%u2014but not one step further.
Christian Science MonitorOctober 20, 2008The honey runs thick in The Secret Life of Bees, and so does the treacle.
ComingSoon.netApril 01, 2011All the pieces are there for a good movie but there's an undeniable sense of reluctance to put them into play. Every time it seems like the film might be taking a chance it retreats to safe ground.
3BlackChicks ReviewAugust 03, 2009Can I tell you a secret? This movie is *really* good. Grab Nana and go see it!
BET.comJuly 06, 2009Bees is almost too sweet, but with enduring enough performances to make a solid movie.
Uruguay TotalMay 04, 2009(...) Hay un mérito atendible en la directora y es evitar caer en la sensiblería barata que el asunto arriesgaba.
MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalMarch 06, 2009The story is a gentle depiction of harsh times that works best as a coming-of-age parable, not so well as a historical drama.
