Honey O’Donahue (Qualley) is a small-town private investigator, who delves into a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church.
Recommended ages 17+ for strong sexual content, graphic nudity, some strong violence, and language.
"All the pieces are in place for a playful, modern-day noir, starting with an eclectic cast that includes Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Charlie Day, Billy Eichner, and Talia Ryder. Cinematographer Ari Wegner (“The Power of the Dog”) captures the dusty streets of Bakersfield, California, in faded postcard hues. The retro-chic costume design from Peggy Schnitzer is consistently on point. And longtime Coens collaborator Carter Burwell conjures an air of mystery with the Western-tinged score. But in following up last year’s superior “Drive-Away Dolls,” Coen once again has written the script with wife Tricia Cooke, and it just doesn’t add up to much. There’s a folksy musicality to the dialogue, and everyone’s just a teensy bit sleazy (or extremely sleazy, when it comes to Evans’ character)." - Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
"Honey Don’t! is a bleak and breezy good time. Don’t overthink it." - Gemma Wilson, Seattle Times.
