We, too, just got back from a showing.
 
>It was as good or better than I expected
 
IMHO, it was terrific. It was beautifully filmed, beautifully
cast, without a false note anywhere. If Fonda does not get an
Oscar nomination for this, I will be amazed and disappointed.
 
>Peter Fonda was a convincing beekeeper and the beekeeping scenes were very

Not only that, he did at least some of his own stunts: held a
frame of bees up for inspection, bare-handed.

The sight of the honey coming out of the extractor was enough to
bring tears to the eyes.
 
The properties manager deserves a nominaton, too. Those frames in
the extractor were real, old, black combs. You could almost smell
them, there in the movie house.
 
We could not think of another film that features bee-keeping or
bee-anything except horror films. This is wonderful. See it.
See it. See it.
