Ulee's Gold (1997)
6/10
A quiet low key family drama. Fonda is exceptional
24 September 2014
This was an okay movie, very low key, helped but along by Peter Fonda who is just exceptional. He plays Ulee, a reserved Florida bee keeper forced to put his splintered family back together when his incarcerated son asks for a favour.

Solid acting all round with some powerful scenes between Fonda and Patricia Richardson (Home Improvement). It's a low budget movie but that doesn't seem to affect anything. The quiet beekeeping scenes are beautifully done. (I even learned a thing or two about honey there) Also includes a (very) young Jessica Biel as Ulee's granddaughter. 8/23/14
