screenings

blu-ray

A surprisingly sexy, darkly funny, emotional rollercoaster…
In this light-and-dark comedy, June and her Persian-British mom Lela travel to the romantic Azores islands for a grief anniversary, with contrasting ways of coping. A hot philosophical surfer takes them on a tour as we surf the waves of life, loss, flirting… an unforgettable ride.

In her award-winning debut feature, director Lilian T. Mehrel brilliantly transforms grief, desire, and human connection into something electric, introducing a visionary new voice.

Surf the waves of life, loss, flirting…

“A thrill ride” – The Hollywood Reporter
“A special balance” – The New York Times
“A visionary new voice” – IndieWire
“Standout… funny, sexy” – Vogue
“Magnetic… the work of a gifted alchemist.” – Movie Archer

“Here is to independent filmmaking. Here is to new voices. And here is to Lilian T. Mehrel, whose debut feature announces the arrival of a filmmaker worth paying very close attention to. Honeyjoon is funny, moving, compassionate, and quietly profound. A lovely reminder that even in our darkest moments, life still offers reasons to laugh, dance, connect, and keep riding the wave when it comes.” - Script Mag

“Tender, funny and deeply compassionate, Honeyjoon marks Mehrel as a filmmaker worth watching, delivering a debut that finds beauty not in overcoming grief, but in learning how to live alongside it.” - AU Review

“A sensual, deeply emotional comedy that surprises in its ability to balance lightness with depth, and in doing so, it delivers a masterclass in navigating the tumultuous waters of love, grief, and identity. A must-see…” - OuchMag

“In just 75 minutes, Lilian T. Mehrel’s debut feature Honeyjoon manages to make audiences laugh, cry, wince, and reflect. A seamless tonal balance.” - FilmThreat
