ReelViews -
The other actress to stand out is, unsurprisingly, Queen Latifa, whose intense screen presence makes her a force to be reckoned with even when she's simply standing in the background, not saying anything.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Above all, it contains characters I care for, played by actors I admire.

The Hollywood Reporter -
An affecting ensemble piece that's destined to generate a fair share of awards-season buzz.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
It's pleasant and often touching, and the well-chosen cast sells what little drama they get, but there's no depth and little affect, and every would-be conflict peters out noncommittally.

Variety -
Like a mouthful of honey, The Secret Life of Bees is cloyingly sweet and gooey, and you're not quite sure you can swallow it undiluted.
