Critic Reviews

A.O. Scott

Beeswax, at first glance a modest, ragged slice of contemporary life, turns out to be a remarkably subtle, even elegant movie. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Bujalski’s funny, diverting character piece has a lived-in quality that’s no small achievement. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

As Mark Twain didn't say, reports of the death of mumblecore are greatly exaggerated. As proof, I offer Andrew Bujalski's wise and wondrous Beeswax. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Beeswax has a rhythmic quality, and it eschews conventional plotting for sharp observation of human strengths and foibles. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

This warm, graceful and fundamentally optimistic movie snuck up on me, in the best possible way. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

There are fine, fresh observational moments, but the film is much ado about not so much. Read full review

Alissa Simon

Beeswax, the third feature from American indie auteur Andrew Bujalski ("Funny Ha Ha," "Mutual Appreciation"), offers yet another low-key take on twentysomethings finding their way. Read full review

A seemingly mundane story that is touching, compelling and, above all, masterfully realistic. The twins are very appealing.
