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

Tell it to the Bees... is a period drama with no sting. There's no urgency to its message, no passion at its centre. July 23, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's a sad quirk of timing that a film about romantic outsiders should feel like part of the herd, but a brighter spotlight would not have done it any favours. July 18, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Despite the hefty talent involved, there's a preposterous pass-agg tweeness to this film - a contrived and self-conscious affair adapted from Fiona Shaw's 2009 novel and directed by Annabel Jankel. July 18, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Though at times director Annabel Jankel... can be obvious in driving home the points she wants to make, her romantic period drama is a touching exploration of repressed desire and intolerance. May 29, 2020 | Full Review…

The costuming and production design are impressive and the New Zealand-raised Paquin (The Piano) delivers a suitably understated performance of quiet devastation. April 8, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Totally has the look and feel like something you would see on the BBC. Slow in pacing, solid acting with an engaging story. A small, well made film. January 2, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

At first glance, Annabel Jankel's film... could be written off as any other period romance, but the two leads, Holliday Grainger and Anna Paquin share chemistry and understanding that the film becomes a precious moment in time. October 23, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
