Dakota Fanning was originally going to play Eliza, but directors thought that Flora Cross looked like Juliette Binoche and selected Cross instead.

At first glance, Bee Season seems to be just another clichéd family melodrama waltzing its way into your multiplex. But please, please, please give this film a chance. Based on Myla Goldberg's critically acclaimed bestseller, this film adaptation by directing team Scott McGehee and David Siegel strikes all the right notes. There's a veneer of family melodrama, but beneath it there's a deeply affecting story about each family member's sense of spirituality. I realize that the word "spirituality" alludes to images of What the Bleep do we Know?! and other pseudo-philosophic pieces you've suffered through, but Bee Season has little to do with those. For one, there's no hardboiled message tagged onto Bee Season. Actually, if anyone were to walk away from the film with a lesson, it would be that there is no right answer. It's up to you to figure one out for yourself. Second, there's more to Bee Season than "spirituality". There's a smart and well acted family drama to go along with it.
