tasteful, touching; There is a tender, convincing chemistry between the two leads; The range of the performance becomes more apparent as the glow of romance thaws Jean, and Paquin brings out her warmth and humour
genuinely sexy; A bit sticky sweet but watchable; Some might mutter about the industry's preference for lesbian-themed movies in which the leads just so happen to be thin, femme and pretty, but it’s hard to dislike this pleasant, earnest work
fine acting, some lovely moments, and good intentions cannot save the fifties-set melodrama "Tell It to the Bees" from being a major disappointment; the work of Grainger and Paquin..make "Tell It to the Bees" watchable, and are worthy of high praise
