Alice Eve is underrated I feel. She is clearly such a movie star when you watch this. She was strong and sexy without falling into traditional female traps written by men. I think it was her brother who wrote this? Great if they are related. It's super fast paced. Music was seriously cool. Would watch with friends again.
I decided to watch Bees Make Honey because of Jack Eve, Trevor Eve and Alice Eve! I thought the movie had a brilliant plot.
However, I also thought it was a little slow--at least at the beginning. Also, it was confusing because of the amount of flashbacks. Now the movie was anything but terrible.
I thought the movie was highly creative! I thought Alice Eve did a phenomenal job as Honey. Trevor also did a phenomenal job as the commissioner.
I thought in terms of writing Jack Eve did a brilliant job. I also think Jack did a phenomenal job directing the movie!
I'd still recommend others' to check the movie out too.

In 1934, rich London widow Alice Eve throws a wild costume party for her friends. She is very attracted to Wilf Scolding, with whom she is trying, with the aid of commissioner Trevor Eve, to discover who murdered her husband.
Visually, this is a sumptuous effort, reminiscent of DeMille's MADAM SATAN, albeit without a dirigible in a lightning storm. Miss Eve is also a lot sexier than DeMille's lead, although 87 years later, there's really no way to compare them directly The movie uses that sexual heat, as well as a lt of red herrings provided by Miss Eve, to obscure what is going on, to the film's detriment. Still, there is Miss Eve to keep the male gaze riveted.

This looks like an attempt at farce and absurdist comedy but is too confused and doesn't make sense, even in its own world. One moment it's trying to be Oscar Wilde and the next, Rocky Horror but for all the overacting and deliberately stilted language if fails. What it does have is engaging visual appeal; the costumes and sets are stunning, as is the lead, Alice Eve.
Fantastic ride all the way through that had me smiling as I tried to figure out how they were going to solve the mystery. It's all over the place and doesn't take itself too seriously. On top of that it has the most intense bobbing for apples sequence I have ever seen.
