Review of The Secret Life of Bees (2008) by Daniel K — 24 Apr 2011
A solid effort here that appears to stay true to the novel. Dakota Fanning leads the cast, most of which is African-American, and does a great job with her role. Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys & Sophie Okonedo are all fantastic as sisters who take in young Lily and her carer Rosaleen, played by Jennifer Hudson.
It can be quite confronting with some scenes but there are also some lovely scenes, particulary with Dakota Fanning and Queen Latifah. Overall a nice film and certainly worth a look.
