Chick flick/Mother daughter/family movie. What else can I say? The majority of the cast is a family of black women who take in Fanning and Hudson. A bunch of events ensue. Tragic, happy, beautiful, feminism and civil rights... It has it all. It has a great wardrobe i.e. Alicia Keys' skinny high waisted jeans with a white tee tucked in. Loved it. This is a movie you cry in. Both of joy and sadness. Some of it was strange, but I guess when you write about the South and base a story on the metaphor of bees, what else could it become? Based on a book, I'm thinking it might be pretty close and true to what happens in the book. The movie certainly felt like it was a book. The movie centralizes on Fanning and her obsession about the truth about her past of whether her mother left her or was coming for her when she was a child. Her past is holding her back from saving herself and she searches out to find out more about her mother she never knew, and in turn she finds out more about herself and guides the family of women into the directions they needed to go in. It was a beautiful story. It was a lovely little film.
