Honey Don’t! is a 2025 American neo-noir dark comedy detective film from director Ethan Coen, co-written with longtime collaborator Tricia Cooke. Serving as the second entry in the duo’s self-described “lesbian B-movie trilogy” after Drive-Away Dolls (2024), the film blends pulp-inspired intrigue with offbeat humor and vibrant queer storytelling. Fronted by a charismatic cast including Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Evans, Honey Don’t! delivers a stylish mix of mystery, romance, and razor-sharp wit, set against a backdrop of cults, crime, and chaotic misadventures.
