Honey O'Donahue, a small-town private investigator, delves into a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church.
Honey Don't! blends neo-noir, dark comedy, and whodunnit elements in a small-town setting with LGBT representation and a church-centered mystery — a moderately distinctive genre cocktail. However, the execution appears fairly standard for the neo-noir dark comedy space, with a middling reputation suggesting the plot threads don't fully cohere and the ending fails to land with satisfying resolution. Acting and cinematography seem competent but unremarkable for the genre. Novelty gets a slight bump for its specific tonal and thematic combination, but nothing here is singular enough to stand out dramatically.
