Carla Hay Culture Mix The drama Honeyjoon takes a low-key approach to a mother and a daughter reconnecting during a vacation in Portugal, where they confront their emotional wounds. The pacing can get dull, but a friendly tour guide brings intrigue to the family dynamics. Jun 22, 2025 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa Placing everything together, Mehrel’s film bears the messier hallmarks of a debut feature while leveraging the strengths of a relatable relationship dynamic that establishes a compelling emotional baseline for all. Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Gary M. Kramer MovieJawn The magic of the lovely, understated Honeyjoon is the way is shows that happiness, like grief, comes in waves. Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture Despite the well-written screenplay, it still takes great skill to navigate the tonal shifts of June and Lela's relationship, and both women do superb work. Rated: 7/10 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Movie Buff Despite its uneven tone and pace, writer-director Lilian T. Mehrel manages to depict the complicated nature of grief, and the different ways people process it. Rated: B Jun 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
