Overview

• Focus Features launches the R-rated, 89-minute feature in U.S. theaters on Aug. 22.
• Directed by Ethan Coen and co-written with Tricia Cooke, the film leans into a sunlit neo-noir, dark-comic caper mode.
• Margaret Qualley stars as private investigator Honey O’Donahue, with Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans and Charlie Day among the ensemble.
• The story follows Honey probing a client’s death that steers her toward a charismatic preacher and a drug operation, framed through explicit queer themes.
• Early reactions split, with UPI calling it slight but entertaining and the Boston Globe faulting uneven plotting and tone.
