Leave your thoughts about Honeydew.
| Paste MagazineMary Beth McAndrewsHoneydew is a cannibalistic descent in a vintage-inspired hell complete with antique lace doilies and ceramic kitchenware. It is a fascinating, hallucinatory puzzle that is short a few pieces, but is still reminiscent of a classic like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. |
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaThe performances are remarkable, particularly from Kingsley, and I love the script. I can’t wait to see what Dan Kelly and Devereux Milburn do next, whether it’s together or separately. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinWith a running time of 107 minutes, the film goes on just a little longer than it really needs to before it gets predictably violent, grotesque and reasonably scary at last. But Milburn and Kennedy certainly know how to build a unique atmosphere. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWhizbang editing aside, it’s a slow slog of a movie with a seriously obvious destination. |
| IndieWireRyan LattanzioThis is a bizarre movie that disappears up its own empty gastrointestinal tract. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakMilburn does the right thing as far as keeping a nihilistic tone for his conclusion, but it lacks the teeth to get us holding our breath. We restlessly await our own escape instead since we already suffocated about forty minutes prior. |
| RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyWhen the inevitable finale with a thoroughly sign-posted twist arrives, you might realize you’ve already spent all your goodwill towards Milburn’s stylistically over-bloated film that chases one cliché after the next over the course of an overstretched running time. |
| Screen RantDebopriyaa DuttaHoneydew feels derivative from start to finish, its arthouse elements lending an aura of inauthenticity to an already-lackluster backwoods nightmare. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyFood — its preparation, consumption and just what the hell its ingredients are — figures in a minimal plot that the filmmakers inflate in a variety of slick but ultimately unimpressive ways (particularly in the editing). |
| User ReviewJLuis_001Unsettling yet predictable. And it's more grotesque than scary, so even though the construction of the atmosphere is good, it's functional because it keeps you immersed in the story, but's not enough to make you feel uneasy about the situation. I admit it kept me interested, but it also didn't do anything remarkable. So I recommend low expectations. |
