Honeyland

One of my most favorite documentaries of all time. Beautifully filmed and compelling drama in a transportative film.

watching this now-it sure puts things in perspective when you think you have it bad-1 star off for the CRUELTY to animals

Heartwarming and beautiful movie that will sure to make you shed some tears

I cried my eyes out. The movie is so beautifull.

A beautiful, slow, quiet view of extreme poverty and the saving of wild bees. It leaves the viewer wondering was it scripted? What did they do to help her mother's wound? I loved the lesson of take only half and leave half so the species can continue without harm. It is an Indigenous message likely handed down and a truism that if ignored will end in our peril. I loved reading later that the filmmakers spent 3 years just watching and taping and did use their funds to help the woman survive.

This film lingers on, long after it's over, a moving, unforgetable experience.

Scenically documented a harsh lifestyle with thematically impactful glimpses, inadvertently reviving the similar storytelling priorly prompted in "Pather Panchali" with condensed idealness. It flows patiently and gracefully, but it lacks eventful resonance. (B-)

Exceptional film Heartbreaking and warm. You'd have to have your head buried in the sand for it not to effect you. The landscape is breathtaking and cinematography too. That other humans wreck the planet with their greed and thoughtlessness should watch this. Hardworking and so positive Hatidze is fabulous. Watch learn and love.

It was bad. The storyline was really boring.

Honey plays a backdrop to a documentary which feels at its most fascinating just by portraying how life plays out for itinerant, gypsy like families in far outposts of Eastern Europe. Macedonia is like anywhere else in Europe for most people but there remains a large minority of the population who live this earthy existence. What amazes me is just how diverse their life skills are and how brilliantly improvisational they are. They approach nature with no fear and are at one with heir surroundings whereas most of us all n the modern world would be lost without the usual trappings. I'd last a couple of days in my own in the wild whereas yo this lot it's just easy. Reminds me how much health and safety has contorted our perceptions of risk…much for the worse. I was captivated by the documentary until the final quarter of an hour which dragged a bit.
