Alexa-Sascha Lewin’s THE HONEYSTING shows us some very clear
parallels between hunting big game and operating within Chinatown’s
black market underworld for the "spoils" of that hunting. What I initially
liked about it was the way Lewin refused to show her hand as to the
real connections between the two worlds until she absolutely had to.
Then ultimately, I was impressed by the fact that she has made a movie
with a cause that doesn’t broadcast to you what the cause is. Lewin has
spent several years as a natural history filmmaker and I have to believe
that it took some doing to show the restraint she does here to allow the
narrative of her film deliver the punch, rather than doing so through some
preachy exposition." - John Wildman
