Based on the New York Times best selling novel, The Secret Life of Bees is a coming of age story without the sappiness that many directors think women want. Despite the women-centric story line, it’s not overly touchy-feely, nor should it be pegged a “chick-flick.”
Set in rural South Carolina in 1964, Bees is the moving story of 14 year-old Lily Owens (Dakota Fanning) who is haunted by the memory of her tragically killed mother.
Starring Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, and Sophie Okonedo, Bees features this ensemble of engaging women that take in Lily as she searches for love, redemption, and to fill in the gaps left by her mother’s passing.
