Some of the film’s lovelier assets include the work of cinematographer Bartosz Nalazek. He captures the luscious greenery of the English countryside, the ever-grey skies, the drab homes and muddy streets of the town. Even in the midst of chaos, there’s a sense of calm in the naturalistic scenery. Claire M. Singer’s score keeps the music flowing alongside the buzz of bees.

Although the practice of telling the bees is most commonly associated with funerals, in some regions the bees are to be told of happy events in the family, particularly weddings.

Tell it to the Bees by Fiona Shaw – eBook DetailsMore time to develop their relationship would’ve paid off by naturally bringing up societal barriers, but unfortunately this film decided to lean on an over-explained plot instead of the tragedy. Failing To Find The Light You still can’t go rewriting history, though, so any period queer film needs to avoid being a total bummer while still being true to what was possible in its era. That balance proves particularly hard for Tell It to the Bees, a romance set in very queer-unfriendly 1950s Scotland. The film adaptation (directed by Annabel Jankel, script by Henrietta and Jessica Ashworth) captures much of the spirit of the novel, with expressive performances from Holliday Grainger and Anna Paquin. It is beautifully filmed and sensitively directed, with a powerful, subtle score by Claire M Singer. A 1950s article in the Dundee Courier, Scotland, describes the practice of inviting bees to the wedding. [11] If a wedding occurred in the household, the hive might be decorated and a slice of wedding cake left by their hive. [2] [6] [12]

Charlie tells his secrets to no one but the bees, but even he can’t keep his mother’s friendship to himself. But people don’t like things done differently. As Lydia and the doctor become closer, the rumours start to fly and threaten to shatter Charlie’s world. However, while I applaud the adaptation of my novel, and I was moved by the final kiss (two beautiful women together, proud and public, while people tut and stare), I am not in love with the ending. This bittersweetness is a straight person’s finale. I wanted my couple to have their cake and eat it together, for once: a fully romantic, fully happy, and therefore – in the context of lesbian fiction – a more radical ending.

Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible. And yet… stars. I loved the small town feel and the forbidden romance of it all. The writing was gorgeous and I really liked how the author told this story. We get three pov’s: Lydia, Jean, and Lydia’s son, Charlie. Those are our main characters and I came to really care for all three of them by the end.
