Reviews
Honolulu has received a mixed response from critics. While some appreciate the film's nostalgic and bittersweet portrayal of post-reunification Berlin, others find it lacking depth and originality. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 62% rating, with the consensus stating 'Honolulu's charming protagonist and picturesque setting fail to fully compensate for a somewhat formulaic plot.' IMDb users rated the movie 6.2/10, with many praising Alexandra Maria Lara's performance but criticizing the predictability of the storyline. Metacritic's score was 55 out of 100, citing the film's tendency to rely on clichรฉs and familiar tropes. Overall, Honolulu offers a heartfelt look at one woman's journey towards self-realization, but falls short of leaving a lasting impact.
