RottenTomatoes Score: 53% Fresh
MetaCritic Score: 60/100
IMDB Rating: 5.9/10
My Response: The Secret Life of Bees definitely presents a new tweak on the often-visited subject of race relations. While many racially themed movies fall into melodramatic storytelling, I have high hopes that this film will be different. The cast is top notch, and while director Prince-bythewood is inexperienced, I think the film has an interesting enough premise to warrant a viewing.
