Reviews

Honeyglue received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike. With an IMDb rating of 6.0/10, the film’s emotional depth is often praised, though it struggles with pacing and character development. Variety noted that 'the film successfully tackles the themes of love in the face of tragedy,' but emphasized that 'it falters in delivering a cohesive narrative.' Rotten Tomatoes reflects this divide, showing a score of only 42%, indicating that some viewers appreciated the heartfelt moments while others found it lacking in execution. Conversely, Metacritic provided a stinging score of 25/100, marking it as a film that did not resonate with many critics, with The Hollywood Reporter criticizing its 'predictable plot and clichés.' Yet, many viewers found Adriana Mather's performance commendable, describing it as 'emotionally engaging' and a highlight of the film. Overall, while Honeyglue showcases moments of tenderness and authenticity, its mixed reviews suggest it’s a film that may resonate more with those who appreciate unconventional storytelling rather than mainstream narratives.
