Overview

• The Focus Features release reaches U.S. theaters on Aug. 22, with the UK and Australia to follow in early September according to critics’ notes.
• Critics describe a sun‑blasted, Coen‑esque noir that leans into explicit queer sexuality and bursts of stylized violence.
• Margaret Qualley stars as Honey O’Donahue, a lesbian private investigator crossing paths with Aubrey Plaza’s MG Falcone and Chris Evans’s duplicitous preacher.
• Performances draw consistent praise even from negative reviews, while assessments cite shaggy plotting, slack pacing, and inconsistent comic timing.
• Reviewers note an R rating and an 89‑minute runtime, with the story set in Bakersfield and filmed in Albuquerque.
