Okay, Dakota Fanning, I demand to see some ID, because after watching you in The Secret Life of Bees, I do not believe for one second you were born in 1994. There’s just no way, not a chance, because there you are sharing the screen with enormous talents like Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Paul Bettany and it’s like we’re watching their contemporaries – not someone who is at the very least, ten years younger than the youngest of them.
The Secret Life of Bees is one of those great tear jerker movies that packs a heck of a punch from the very first scene. At times, it’s not easy to watch. You feel so much for Dakota Fanning’s charater, Lily, that seeing what she goes through is a harrowing experience. In the end, though, you are rewarded with a rich, fulfilling movie that makes you appreciate you family and friends.
