Honeyglue (2016)

The Worst Film Ever

For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I hate definitions and those that are not defined have a hard time. Being yourself is probably the hardest thing to do. I like avoiding the obvious and I think James Bird avoids it elegantly keeping the story line true. It is not easy to talk about dying without religion. I enjoyed the lightness of the narration, the taking hold of their life and making it memorable. I do believe it fundamental to making it memorable in the little things in order to make it worth its real value for any person. I think we should talk more about people without the temptation to judge them especially those that are true to themselves. I have seen in the movie a collective effort and it does manage to avoid stereotypes. No fancy production but a perfect use of the essentials for movie making. Keep it up guys!!!

Amazing Film. I had the honor of being Key Makeup Artist w/ Laura Calvo and I can honestly say it was such a pleasure to work on such an amazing project surrounded by amazing film makers. I cannot wait for the next one. James, Anya, and Adriana are amazing and intelligence film makers who are going to be around for a very long time. The Acting from Zach & Adriana was stunning, even after being on set and seeing the scenes film and pre reading the script, watching the film all put together gets me ever time. Honeyglue is filled with laughter, tears, and real world problems that are put in a very real prospective for the audience to connect to.

James Bird's "Honeyglue" is an effective experimental narrative film that interwoven animation with live storytelling. Androgyny reigns as gender roles are flipped and reversed to make a statement on style and personal expression. An unlikely romance blooms when Jordan (Zach Villa), a purse snatching cross dresser artist, meets Morgan (Adriana Mather) a conservative middle class girl, under unusual circumstances.Base on the vast differences of both characters, initial perception predicts that this ill conceived relationship is doomed from the get go. Yet, during the many trials and tribulation both Morgan and Jordan suffer in their own worlds, they manage to keep the "glue" alive and well whenever they met until life throws a curve-ball that will ultimately, and in an untimely manner, turn this love story into a contemporary Romeo & Juliet with many twists in between.In what can be best described as an Annie Lennox kind of wedding, in a very unorthodox way, the couple exchange nuptials with alternative descriptions of their relationship as the ceremony and events succeeding the ceremony trumps traditional vows.This is a very ambitious film that seeks to mix many unrelated themes and stories, and to the fortune of the film, director James Birds succeed at making it all work. The Main actors deliver solid performances in between a series of superlatively artful animation sequences with screen live action visuals to be credited courtesy of cinematographer Stefan Colson.

Amazing film! It takes you to every emotion possible and the message is great! Congratulations for the cast and director. This is a great time to share this topic and have more people truly believe in LOVE. I can't say much as I wish everyone can see this film but the way the story is told truly helps us understand the characters, their emotional roller-coaster and how love grows with them. You want to help them reach their goal and become really involve on the story. The wardrobe is playful and a different way to present a new film with such of deep storyline. It helps balance what is happening in the movie. Make up nailed it and you can see as the story gets to the end how the changes were made perfectly. I am sure if was a very challenging for the hair and make-up team to achieve pick up shoots and shooting timeline with extreme changes or styles. The cast was perfect for this story. I am very impressed to this this quality on a new production company.
