Honeyland





If you wish to feel privileged then it is the film to watch. Such a loaded word for triggered people with uncocked pistols. It is is meant to indicate those who have special rights. Everywhere our attention is directed to the ubiquitous evidence of these in our lives. How can we not see? Always, there is just enough truth to the claim. Certainly I do not wish to trade my life with that of another, some much less so than others. 

This is a film about people whose lives you do not envy, but you do not look away. It is a privileged perspective. The anguish and loneliness and longing are great. I do not wish to see it again. Is that a special right, or are their circumstances simply beyond my control?
