The film offers a complex and unprejudiced view on the issue of euthanasia. The filmmaker shares with discretion and mastery the doubts and the torments of a young woman who helps terminally ill people to die, leaving to the audience the freedom and the responsibility to take a stand. Tied with Tel père, tel fils (2013).

Motivation of the jury: "An unexpected presentation of a very unusual character who arouses great curiosity with her very subjective yet distanced demeanor. The acting is spellbinding despite the underplayed style. We are dragged into her world but left guessing as to what really motivates her. The transparency of her expression as she presides over people's last living moments etches itself into ones subconscious making the viewer live through these experiences as if they were their own."

Human interest drama that treats the viewer as an intelligent being

8/10
Author: euroGary from United Kingdom
8 November 2013

'Honey' is an Italian/French co-production about euthanasia. A young woman (Jasmine Trinca, who has absolutely gorgeous eyes) helps those seriously ill people who wish to end their suffering to do so. She does this work because she believes it is the right thing to do, although she's no campaigner. But her self-confidence is challenged by Grimaldi (Carlo Cecchi), a middle-aged man who requests her help to die not because he is suffering, but simply because he is tired of life. A relationship of - perhaps - mutual fascination forms between the pair as Honey tries to understand Grimaldi's choice and to convince him to change his mind, while Grimaldi stubbornly insists the whys and wherefores are none of her business - he simply wants to employ her to help him die.

Trinca does well in her leading role, convincing in a detachment that gradually turns into greater emotional involvement in what she's doing. In his role as 'grouchy old man', Cecchi is offered less scope. The film does not seem to judge whether euthanasia is right or wrong, but allows the viewer to make up his/her own mind. The ending is perhaps needlessly soppy, but done in a thankfully low-key way. All-in-all, well worth seeing.

An Interesting Plot
7/10
Author: comicman117 from United States
22 April 2014

Honey is a human drama that has a decent plot. The film, which is the directing debut of Italian actress Valeria Golino is a well shot, well-made film, that's only real weakness is just how confusing it can sometimes be. The film deals with the idea of euthanasia, and does not necessarily tell us whether it is a good or a bad thing.

Honey tells the story of Irene (played by Jasmine Trinca) an Italian woman nicknamed Honey who has dedicated herself to helping people who are suffering, by helping them ending their lives. She tries to find ways to make their problems less severe, despite the extreme decisions they do, because she believes it is the right thing to do. When she meets a middle-aged man named Grimaldi (played by Carlo Cecchi), her self-confidence is challenged, as Grimaldi wants her to end his life not because he is suffering, but because he is bored. A mutual relationship formed between the two as Honey sets out to learn why Grimaldi wants to do what he wants to do.

An Italian/French co-production partially shot in Mexico, Honey is a movie that shows real human emotions. The performances in the film help immensely. Jasmine Trinca, the actress, playing Honey shows different moods throughout the film, such as frustration, anger and happiness, and she shows them all very well.

The film itself has an interesting idea for a plot that deals with euthanasia which is banned in most countries and it's not hard to see why. The idea of taking someone's life no matter had bad they are suffering, does not sit well with many people. Honey does not necessarily say that euthanasia is a good thing; instead the film explains why the idea is actually helpful in some ways. Those who are suffering from a disease that they can't cure objectively want their lives to taken away from them. The film, however, also shows us why the idea of euthanasia is potentially dangerous, with Honey, the main character, even questioning such a thing once in the film.

Being a first time director, aside from a short film, director Golino does some interesting camera choices. One recurring motif throughout the film is Honey swimming in the water, which occurs three times during the film. The idea seems to be that water is meant to represent Honey at her most natural state, and that she swims in order to drown out the misery in her life.

The soundtrack using both English and Italian songs is also well incorporated. In the scene where Honey is taking her bike ride, the song helps to push the mood of the scene, as we see her going by quite fast on her bicycle.Honey is not a masterpiece by any means. Some viewers might find the plot to be a little confusing to follow. However, I find the film to be an interesting look at euthanasia and how it affects people.

Man, Can This Girl Act
9/10
Author: film_ophile from boston mass. usa
10 February 2015

I agree completely with the 3 other reviews. I mostly wanted to rave about this actress, Jasmine Trinca. She is really SOMEthing! She is unusually beautiful and elfin, w/ her Audrey Hepburn haircut, but that attribute is never mentioned in the film, and all the attention is on her laser sharp focus on her mission: traveling, procuring,returning and overseeing her Mexican contraband used by terminally ill people in Italy who wish to end their lives. She takes everything VERY seriously, and it is quite something when she finally smiles, near the film's end. I know using 'girl' instead of woman is not PC, but in this case, she looks soooo young (like 17,even though she was actually twice that old !) That, and maybe her naiveté, made me think of her as a girl.

The very unusual, complex and never explained relationship that develops w/ the 'grumpy old man' is the crux of the story, and the catalyst for change. For me, the film's ending depicted an act that was a true affirmation of Love, and I felt very satisfied by that.Film endings are rarely this successful. But you do have to figure it all out for yourself, because all the visual clues are there for you, but the dialogue never reveals most of what I picked up from watching it. Honey makes for a great conversation piece, about matters that really mean something in how we live our lives. A completely compelling and engrossing experience.

In case you were wondering whether Italians understand the complexities of dying
8/10
Author: Orlando Somera
8 February 2015

Jasmine Trinca is Honey, a beautiful young woman enjoying the life of a free spirit, living alone in a beach front apartment in Italy. She seems to be without means but she is in contact with a hospital worker, a friend of hers, who pays her to assist dying patients in their death. She feels she's giving people relief but what she does is illegal.

She's handled all the emotional issues until one of her rules is broken and she's suddenly at risk of losing her moral compass. The movie then chronicles her struggle to maintain through her unexpected friendship with one of her older clients, Carlo Cecchi in a wonderful supporting role.

The movie is affecting and beautifully shot. The acting is mostly Trinca's responsibility and she carries it off so impressively that I couldn't help thinking how she's somewhat reminiscent of a cross between Keira Knightley and Winona Ryder but better than either. Ultimately what I liked best about this film is that it so convincingly matches or exceeds all other attempts to cover this sensitive topic I'm aware of.

Critique publiée par Locke le 2 octobre 2013
Après Respiro, Valeria Golino a encore frappé fort avec Miele.Ici, le thème de l'euthanasie clandestine prend autant de place que le profil psychologique de la jeune anti-héroïne qui la pratique pour des gens de strates sociales différentes. Finalement, cette alchimie insuflée par la réalisatrice italienne permet au film de ne pas tomber dans le pathos. Et c'est tant mieux. Irène/Miele (son pseudo d'"assistante à l'euthanasie") est passée par un évènement qui l'a marqué au fer rouge pour pratiquer "la mort assistée".On comprend aussi que sa vie intime dissolue ainsi que sa solitude quotidienne ne doivent rien au hasard. Or, ce qui marque le plus, c'est sa combativité, ce caractère de battante qui l'honore envers la vie et les autres. Personnellement, je trouve que Jasmine Trinca est un double incarné de Golino à travers son regard de braise et sa fausse nonchalance sous laquelle repose un esprit en ébullition.

Au fil de l'histoire intervient le personnage de Grimaldi, vieux neurologue qui va contrarier son regard sur la pratique de l'euthanasie (Irène a des idées bien arrêtées là dessus) puisqu'il a décidé d'en finir avec la vie en étant en pleine santé. Tour à tour, leurs relations seront tendues jusqu'à ce qu'ils arrivent à se comprendre, à s'apprivoiser. Et Irène l'estimera vraiment pour une raison particulière (que je ne vais pas vous dévoiler).Même si le rythme général du film est plutôt lent, son contenu et sa force d'évocation font la différence.Le cinéma de Valéria Golino conserve sa vigueur et,qui plus est,gagne en maturité. Je souhaite également qu'un jour, un réalisateur saura donner à cette femme également actrice un premier rôle aussi inoubliable (loin de Hot Shots et plus proche de Rain Man) que dans les films qu'elle s'écrit et où elle dirige les autres.

Critique publiée par C-L le 15 octobre 2013
Je veux bien t’aider à mourir…mais seulement si tu en as vraiment besoin. Je ne te tue pas, j’arrête tes souffrances. Tel est le discours que se répète Mielequi, au quotidien, traverse la frontière mexicaine pour acheter des barbituriques mortels destinés aux animaux.Les chiens, quand ils souffrent, on les pique. Pourquoi pas les hommes ?

Miele appartient à une organisation calibrée dirigée par un médecin italien d'un hôpital romain. Elle effectue son travail sérieusement et par étape: à l'issue du processus, seul le malade peut effectuer le geste fatal, personne d'autre n'en prend la responsabilité. De son côté, Miele veille à ce que ces derniers moments soient les plus paisibles possibles : un intermède musical choisi par le « client » accompagne son chemin mortuaire, des petits chocolats sont disposés sur le plateau, entre les anxiolytiques et le poison. Une fois la vie terminée, Miele prend son enveloppe et retourne dans sa cabane au bord de la plage. Cette partie de sa vie, personne ne la connaît. De toute façon, il n’y a pas grand monde: son père veuf, un peu seul, à qui elle vient rendre visite de temps en temps à Rome, son amant, un père de famille un peu dépassé et quelques amis.

Rien ne se passe vraiment dans la vie de cette jeune italienne ; rien ne semble l’atteindre. Son « travail de merde » comme lui fait constater la sœur d’un client, il lui convient très bien.Pourtant, le jour où elle découvre qu’un client à qui elle a remis des barbituriques n’est pas malade, elle ne le supporte pas. Elle veut bien contribuer à arrêter les souffrances physiques mais la fatigue mentale, la vie s’en accommode. On ne joue pas avec la mort.Miele a donc une morale, mais sa ligne de conduite est difficile à cerner. En entrant dans la vie de ce client, pour récupérer le produit qu’elle lui a donné, elle se trouve confronter à ses propres contradictions. Pourquoi la souffrance physique justifie t’elle davantage la fin de vie qu’une maladie mentale ? Pourquoi un client dépressif est-il moins convaincant qu’un tétraplégique ? Et qui faut-il convaincre?

La mort est toujours une épreuve, quel que soit ce qui la provoque. Elle laisse des regrets à ceux qui restent et un voile d’appréhension sur le visage de celui qui part. On a peur de la mort, même si on l’attend un peu. Pour Miele, le visage de ses clients dans leurs derniers instants est toujours effrayé, comme si soudain, ils avaient changé d’avis.Face au cynisme de ce dernier client, Miele perd pied. On ne plaisante pas avec la mort, même quand on la commercialise.Pour son client au contraire, la mort est une formalité. Il la veut simple, sans spectacle. Un coup de feu, une défenestration, ce n’est pas assez intime, il va déranger tout le quartier! Se suicider proprement est une opération compliquée. Voilà pourquoi il préfère se faire aider.

Le film de Valeria Golino fait réfléchir mais ne va finalement pas très loin. On sort de la salle en se disant qu’effectivement, l’euthanasie est moralement compliquée et qu’il est difficile d’imposer à quelqu’un d’en prendre la responsabilité. Si quelqu’un souhaite mourir, la société préfère le suicide à la mort assistée. Le film se termine sur ce constat cynique et désabusé...ni pamphlétaire, ni spectaculaire, le message n'en reste pas moins dérangeant...
