Alexey has got it all: a well-paid job, a nice car, and a woman he is in love with (Sonya). Sonya also happens to be a daughter of an oligarch and is to become his wife in 10 days. Urged by Sonya's dad, Alexey sets out on a business trip to a village of Kurkioki to acquire timber.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
Asha, the main character, is a biracial woman who discovers the power of magic wishing dust.
The film's storylines read as allegories for the queer experience and that's a source of solace for LGBTQIA+ fans!

Viewers get a glimpse of life of mediocrity in a world where humans and cartoon characters live together in this comeback.
“Trust your gut" is one of the most common pieces of advice you’ll receive during your lifetime. And as a person inclined to trust my intuition above all else, it’s the most common advice I find myself giving in real life and in my online socialising.
