Honey Don't (2025) - Greg - 02-09-2026
Ethan Coen directs without his brother this detective story set in Bakersfield, CA. Honey is the titular detective trying to find out what happened to the girl who died on her way to a meeting with Her. Naturally, Honey has her run ins with the cops. Most of the friction because the lead male detective wants to date her but she keeps telling him she only likes girls. Chris Evans plays the head of a church where the girl was headed when she died.
There are lots of different threads running around in this movie but they never really gel together into one complete story. It feels a bit disjointed. Because it'a Coen picture, there is plenty of violence. Lots of women having sex, too. Lots

It all came together well upon my viewing. It had that signature Coen tangled mystery style, populated by quirky characters and parsed with sharp suburban violence. Ethan has yet to reach that odd chemistry wifh his storytelling solo, but he still can deliver an engaging film. Or maybe it was all the sex that madly my attention. Good lesbian sex is always worth a watch and goofy reverend sex can be funny, which it sorta was.
Qualley stood out - seen her before but never really took notice. And a good role for Plaza, who I’ve always liked (figures that she was pierced). I thought Day was wasted - he could’ve done more but was handed a one-dimensional role. Evans was ridiculous, cartoonish and unconvincing. His pretty boy act was all that worked but I would’ve enjoyed a stronger character actor that was more psycho in that role like Dafoe or Walken. The MAGA bumper sticker bit was almost funny.
Not a great film but an improvement on Coen’s previous suburban lesbian film, Drive-Away Dolls. This had better storytelling, a much stronger cast and far better sex scenes. I enjoyed the unfolding of the mystery. It had a few decent mcguffins, not mind blowing but entertaining, and lots more nipples.
Only recommended for D00Mers thst are deep into Coen bros (& it looks like we’ve both seen it now).
