Leave your thoughts about Bitter Honey.
| New York TimesAndy WebsterThere is nothing remotely salacious about Bitter Honey, an agonizing documentary examination of polygamy in Bali, Indonesia, from the U.C.L.A. anthropologist Robert Lemelson. There is only vivid evidence of a society that, despite limp efforts at discouraging domestic abuse, remains mired in ancient patriarchy, sanctioning polygamy and, implicitly, often attendant violence. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichYou'll end up feeling for the women in "Bitter Honey" and despising the predators who victimize them. Steel yourself upon entry. |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryIt would be nice to know if the troubling images we see are a sweeping problem or just a small glimpse of a minority. |
