Full Plot Details

Living in Oakland, California, the Naumanns are outwardly a loving, supportive family. Husband and father Saul Naumann is a Religious Studies professor, and looks to his religious training in Judaism as tenets for his family to live. He has high expectations for all members of his family. His mid-teen son, Aaron Naumann, idolizes his father, and does whatever he can to please him. His pre-teen daughter, Eliza Naumann, often feels the neglected child. So when Saul eventually learns that Eliza is participating and excelling in spelling bees, she becomes the focus of his life as he believes that letters in the form of words will lead to answers to the universe. That change in focus to Eliza makes Aaron now feel the neglected one, he who strikes out quietly in his own way with the help of Chali, a young woman he meets. But the person who has felt the most pressure within Saul's way of life is his wife, Miriam Naumann, a microbiologist. She converted from Catholicism to Judaism when she and Saul married. But as Saul espouses the concept of tikkun olam, bringing together the shards of the world to make it whole, it affects Miriam negatively in trying to cope with an incident from her childhood. Through it all, Eliza may understand her father's way of life the best, and use it in a way unexpected to bring the family back together.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeVery worth 'going with' for both the things it has to say and the bold ways in which it says them.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe performance by Flora Cross is haunting in its seriousness. She doesn't act out; she acts in.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 9/10 by Duane DudekThe premise is intriguing, but the oddly toned screenplay is a mostly opaque and convoluted string of dramatically convenient yet inconsistent assumptions.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerThis well-meaning mistake gets lost in the metaphors.
New York Observer - 9/10 by Rex ReedCold and elusive, Bee Season lacks the crucial emotional ingredients to make us care, and it remains too stubbornly esoteric and cerebral to appeal to anything more than a small and curious art-house crowd.
Newsday - 9/10 by Jan StuartBee Season buzzes with a reverence for the spiritual potential of language, but strands its characters at an irritating loss for words.
EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderThere is a lot of smug mysticism masquerading as universal truth in Bee Season. It's a movie so confident it's being meaningful that it forgot to include any actual meaning.
Denver Post - 8/10 by Michael BoothReflecting Goldberg's virtuoso novel, the film sets up rich dichotomies of what people say and do, and of satisfying the self vs. pleasing the community.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by Peter RainerBee Season, at its core, is about something powerful: The ways in which family members wreak destruction on each other with the best of intentions.
New York Post - 8/10 by Kyle SmithBee Season can spell strongylid but it doesn't know the definition of tension.
