Gisell A. @deadpoolgirl Oct 15 Just had a very good hook, but the story plot got lost trying to accommodate additional character arcs that didn’t add anything to the main story plot. It had a great cast…sadly they were just for show… Alicia keys didn’t even sing.

This should have been called The Secret Life of B Minus.

The plot did drag at times; wish there had been a bit more happening with the bees and their keeper. But the stress of living under Jim Crow, the oppressiveness of the society that they survived, even thrived, in was always there, informing so much of the film and the plot Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning are excellent and believable in every scene. Sophie Okonedo simply was the troubled and damaged May. There were times when I wished to see more nuanced reactions from some of the actors, and a few scenes that I wish had been more fully developed; the director could have allowed more silences for the actors to explore the emotions called for in the script. On the whole, however, the film kept me engaged and gave me a deeper understanding of a culture and society that is different from the MidWestern world I grew up in. See more Read all reviews
