Bee Season

reading EW's review of the trailer for Bee Season

Co-directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel don't make cozy movies; they make thorny, cerebral dramas like The Deep End and Suture. But based on this clip, this McGehee-Siegel film looks like a fairly standard family-with-issues drama. I'm not really ready to watch stars as sexy as Richard Gere and Juliette Binoche play warm, cuddly parents. Let's hope the directors can bring some of their trademark strangeness to this film, which otherwise looks as surprising as a warm bath.

True, the trailer does hint at anything, but either they've utterly changed the plot, or the guy who wrote the review never read the book.


Side note, Richard Gere Jewish? Not so much.
