About
You’ll likely like Honey if you want an intense, low-key human drama about euthanasia and personal doubt, with a standout central performance; Not for you if you prefer clear moral answers or lighter mainstream stories like Euphoria or My Mother.
Pros: compassionate yet tense; compelling lead performance; thought-provoking ethics | Cons: confusing at times; plot feels thin; ending may feel sappy
