Black and white, gay and straight, mothers and daughters, class, and coming of age. Jo is working class, in her teens, living with her drunk and libidinous mother in northern England. When mom marries impulsively, Jo is out on the streets; she and Geoffrey, a gay co worker who's adrift himself, find a room together. Then Jo finds herself pregnant after a one night stand with Jimmy, a Black sailor. Geoffrey takes over the preparations for the baby's birth, and becomes, in effect, the child's father. The three of them seem to have things sorted out when Jo's mother reappears on the scene, assertive and domineering. Which "family" will emerge?

Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 9/10 by Phil HallRaw, poignant, powerful. One of the very best.
Film4 - 9/10 by Jon FortgangSkilful performances, subtle visuals and the power of Delaney's writing all contribute to a landmark in British cinema.
Out Magazine - 9/10 by Armond WhiteThe most deeply felt part of A Taste of Honey is its love story between soul mates - white, black, female, male, straight, and gay...Melvin's Geoff is an achingly believable character, heroic for his time - and ours, too. We owe a debt of gratitude.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawTushingham's performance and lovely, open face are still a tonic.
New Yorker - 8/10 by Michael SragowA near-classic of postadolescent confusion and longing.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Isabel QuiglyThis, of course, is what a film ought to make you feel: that it was conceived in cinematic terms.
Monthly Film Bulletin - 7/10 by MFB CriticsA Taste of Honey, tart and lively around the edges and bitter at the core, is Richardson's best film to date.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt might have been daring during its time, but is now outdated.
Variety - 6/10 by Variety Staff[A Taste of Honey] has an earthy gusto and sincerity that lift its somewhat downbeat theme and drab surroundings.
User Review - 10/10 by Generoso FA lovely film...written & directed by Morrissey
