Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Tony Richardson, who directed this mess, was once quoted as saying, "The British cinema is the worst in the world," and he was in a position to know.

fresh:
Freed from the constricting confines of the stage, the shining honesty, the trials, the disenchantment of the drama's low-born Lancashire principals have become all the more striking and true.
– A.H. Weiler,

rotten:
A perfect example of how the 'New British Cinema' of the late '50s and early '60s has dated and become almost unwatchable.

fresh:
[A Taste of Honey] has an earthy gusto and sincerity that lift its somewhat downbeat theme and drab surroundings.
