A documentary about a Macedonian beekeeper doesn’t sound like one of the best films of the year, does it? But few movies capture the great wheel of nature turning with as much beauty and empathy as Honeyland, and fewer still show how easily the wheel can slip its track and come crashing to pieces.

It is a story about nature vs human but also a story about human vs human. It stands a chance to transform the way of thinking and social values. Exceptional story!

Amazing watch, it is clearly a hard documentary to film and keeps the watcher guessing if it's real or not, but it is all real and very astonishing to watch it develop. 10/10

I think it extremly impresive move. Very emotional and to think that its not just a true story but a real life without a script. Just chosen moments from a long time of filming. Great Job.

A beautiful movie about a beautiful person.
The respect Hatidže shows for the environment and what happens when we don't.
We are all in this together.
That message is so clear and so heartbreaking.
