Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

santadog9 There are so many things stacked up against Honey Bees and other Pollinators, so I was shocked to see just how "Big Honey" cares for their bees, and then wonders why their hives are week and unable to defend themselves against disease, virus, mites, and pesticides. After seeing how negatively the Almond Industry affects our bee colonies, I am off Almonds altogether. I am an Organic minded beekeeper, and as such, I can not support the Almond Industry any longer. Too see the factory style of keeping in practice was heartbreaking to say the least. SHAME on "Big Honey". It's no wonder store bought honey tastes nothing like yard honey. When I harvest, each side of every frame of honey tastes and smells different from the rest because each one was created by the bees during different flower's nectar flows. One could be dandelion, another golden rod, another clover, and so on. Such a shame.

vep10 What an excellent documentary!!! The cinematography is breath taking and you are able to see bees up close like you've never been able to before. This documentary does an amazing job at exploring the reasons why bees are so important for us. The beekeeping process is fascinating, it shows a small family of beekeepers and the industrialized honey farms! This beautiful film shows the relationship between us and honeybees and makes you want to save them all ! I was on the official website earlier (www.morethanhoneyfilm.com) and it's definitely worth it, they have great pictures to look at :) totally check it out!! you will not regret it, it teaches you a lot!

matthewwilliam1213 This may sound excessively hyperbolic, but I'm actually pretty shameless when I say that "More Than Honey" is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Every good documentary's events are framed in some narrative form and "Honey" does not disappoint; the film deftly contrasts the bee farming practices of both American and European farmers. Director Markus Imhoof really managed to get some fantastic, heartfelt interviews from all sides of this issue. While the film certainly identifies potential causes as to why the bees are disappearing, it wisely refrains from ever vilifying them."More Than Honey" also works surprisingly well as a nature documentary, which I attribute entirely to its fantastic cinematography. The macro-photography ventures all the way inside bee hives to show them in their nature habitat, and really breathes excitement into some of the films slower parts. The narration is helpful and informative, allowing even a casual viewer to learn a thing or two about bees along the way. As Eric Kohn from Indiewire puts it: ""Makes a convincing argument for the role of bees sustaining both organic and industrial concerns…(an) effective melding of science and aesthetic delights." 10/10 stars.

kosmasp If you don't get the "noughties" reference, there was a song. Actually there are more than one song referring to Honey, as in spouse or at least girlfriend. But we are talking about actual honey here. And the movie has some devastating blows to deliver. It is also about the bees and the way we are treating them.A very interesting and intriguing documentary, it shows that sometimes they have more to offer than fiction movies. Not to mention that they should affect us more. Hopefully it will also take away the fear of bees many of us have, but I do doubt that. Bees should be more afraid of us actually. Watch this fantastic movie, that is heartbreaking too
