Film: Secret Life of Bees

Watched this on a plane.  Here's my note version review:

Dunno if the pain and sorrow scattered throughout the film really pushed the plot and characters into showing themselves, there seemed to be a disconnect between the action and reaction. And the race issues brought up seemed to be tangential to the personal narratives that were built. I can't fault a film for not having a happily ever after ending, but what is the point of the honey in the film? Maybe I just don't have the perspective to appreciate the symbols.
