Tell It to the Bees is well-acted and well-intentioned -- but often undermined by its frustratingly didactic storytelling. Read critic reviews

Watery romance that has no real feeling to cling to.
July 24, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
Tell it to the Bees... is a period drama with no sting. There's no urgency to its message, no passion at its centre.

Yikes. That wasn't pretty.
July 22, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
The flirty tension between the two feels quietly credible, the camera occasionally shuddering with desire.

When it falls apart, it really does fall apart quite clunky...
July 19, 2019 | Full Review… -
A gentle and prettily appointed romantic tragedy with likeable performances; but there's a stultifying blandness to proceedings and an implausible final act.

Audience Reviews for Tell It to the Bees
-
Oct 11, 2019Anna 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.Dann M Super Reviewer
