Mather gives an embodied performance as the dying young woman, but Villa is the true discovery, bringing soulful intelligence to the role of Jordan.

All in all, it's a mess, but in some weird way, it keeps you watching.

With two strong performances at its core, and sensitive handling of complex issues, Honeyglue is a moving and heartwarming in equal measure.

You have to be willing to accept a lot of nonsense if you're going to make it through Honeyglue, beginning with the title.

A twee romp through the familiar territory of indie faux-rebellion, James Bird's Honeyglue goes through all the regular motions.

Despite the terrible reviews spewing "cliche" and "artsy" as if those adjectives are inherently terrible, I decided to check it out for myself. I was shocked in a great way. This movie had me crying and smiling from the very beginning and I loudly sobbed for about fifteen minutes after. I absolutely adored both leads and the story overall was bittersweet and a wonderful show of the spirit of love and death.

This film truly speaks to those whose lives have been tainted with loss and in turn void of feeling, and where the emotion is then buried deep within. It is in film and art like this where those feelings are dug up and brought out in the open, and when seeing this movie with others who have experienced the same, it is a special and intense experience sharing such a raw state of vulnerability. I recommend it to anyone who falls under this category!

Honeyglue is obviously a film made with a lot of heart, and is a story about the incredible power of love. This film is a great reminder that each moment we have with our loved ones is precious and should be treasured. Watch it with one of your loved ones and prepare to laugh and cry together.
