I watch a lot of low-budget and no-budget movies, this sounded like it would be an interesting movie, and it is, but it seems a lot of people don't get what's going on, or think it's boring. A lot actually happens in this movie, but it is fairly underplayed. The beginning of the movie sets it up and explains exactly what is going on. I almost wish it went a little further in it's weirdness, and at the end it's very low-budget shows with some false teeth, the colors do not match the the actors teeth.....
This is a literal representation of a honey bee hive, on a human scale, if that doesn't appeal to you, you probably shouldn't watch it. It is actually a really interesting movie, and I think people are not giving it a fair shake.
If you can accept it's premise, I think there is a lot to enjoy, but it is a strange movie, one of the stranger ones I have seen recently, but I don't want to give too much away. It is a kind of dark fairytale/drama, and again, it may get confusing, but it is all explained at the very beginning, I recommend going back and watching the first few minutes. It moves slow, but pay attention and have some patience.
The main theme throughout the movie is a really haunting piano piece, it actually reminds me a bit of the "Nightmare on Elm Street Theme", sadly the rest of the music is hit or miss. The cinematography is generally good, except there are a little of dark shots towards the end where it is a bit hard to tell what is going on. The acting from the lead is good, and the rest of the cast is good enough, the worst actors, thankfully have very small parts. The sound mixing is thankfully, well-done, nothing is seriously out of balance.
It has a pretty classic fairlytale set-up, and I think it definitely keeps that feel throughout the movie, don't expect the plot to make real world sense, it isn't supposed to and it is meant to be surreal, so don't take things so literally. I think for what it aims to achieve, it has a fairly cohesive plot. If you accept its weird dark fairytale beehive premise you'll at least be entertained, if you don't, you will definitely not enjoy this movie.
