Overview
Honey O'Donahue, a small-town private investigator, delves into a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church.
The short description is that this is (obviously) Coen Brother-lite, but I think the movie deserves a bit more credit than that. I think the acting is phenomenal. Margaret Qualley completely nails the role, but that should be expected if you have seen her previous movies (in particular, Sanctuary), and it was nice to see Aubrey Plaza play a character different from the roles she has played previously. I think if I had a complaint it would that there could have been more of plot. The last act suffered a bit – it kind of felt like “oh hey, all of the sudden the movie is ending”. I still liked it way better than Drive Away Dolls.
