  • There’s no denying that writer/director Jack Eve’s got ambition. Watching a single frame of genre mash-up "Bees Make Honey" makes that abundantly clear. With bold strokes, Jack sets about combining aspects of straight period pieces and film noir mysteries, with a splash of cheek akin to the comedic works of Gilbert and Sullivan and the sounds of punk-rock to heighten the absurd. Though not all of it gels in the way it’s clearly envisioned, "Bees Make Honey"'s tale of lust, greed, and murder will delight audiences with its gorgeous costuming, go-for-broke performances, and ultimately clever narrative.
