| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenAn affecting ensemble piece that's destined to generate a fair share of awards-season buzz. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe other actress to stand out is, unsurprisingly, Queen Latifa, whose intense screen presence makes her a force to be reckoned with even when she's simply standing in the background, not saying anything. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAbove all, it contains characters I care for, played by actors I admire. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerIt's the strength of the actresses and their nurturing community that makes this Eden so satisfying. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[A] deeply moving film about learning to understand where we come from and where we're going... |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleA movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and mines that territory until you start to cry, whether you want to or not |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThere's a quiet charm to The Secret Life of Bees, a family movie that dares to tackle some serious subjects along the way. It's feel-good most of the time, feel-bad some of the time, and well made throughout. |
