Honey

About This Movie

Honey (1979) is a quirky little comedy that unfolds with a kind of charm you don’t see often. Agustín, the school teacher, is played with a laid-back sincerity that makes his journey to help Paco feel both relatable and a bit absurd. The pacing might seem slow to some, but it really lets the interactions and the humor breathe, creating a warm atmosphere. There’s a subtle play with themes of mentorship and redemption that doesn't hit you over the head, but rather unfolds naturally. The performances are earnest, giving the film a unique texture. Not a lot of flash here; it’s more about the character-driven narrative and that kind of realness that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Honey has had a limited release over the years, often overlooked in the shadow of more prominent comedies from the late '70s. It’s not the easiest title to come by, and original prints are especially scarce, which adds to its allure for collectors. Its understated charm and character-driven storytelling create a niche interest among those who appreciate lesser-known gems from this era.
