Overview of Honey Don’t!
Directed by Ethan Coen and co-written with his wife Tricia Cooke, Honey Don’t! is the second installment in their self-described “lesbian B-movie trilogy,” following 2024’s Drive-Away Dolls. The story centers on Honey O’Donahue (Margaret Qualley), a private investigator in Bakersfield, California, who investigates a string of bizarre deaths connected to a charismatic cult leader, Reverend Drew Devlin (Chris Evans). She is joined by a surly local cop, MG Falcone (Aubrey Plaza), and a homicide detective played by Charlie Day. The film combines elements of dark comedy, crime, and mystery, with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes.
Critical and Box Office Performance
Honey Don’t! has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. It holds a 47% critics’ score and a 42% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with criticism aimed at its disjointed narrative but praise for its visual style and performances. The film grossed $5.3 million globally against a reported $20 million budget, making it a box office underperformer. However, its digital release may help it find a broader audience.
