Pardon the astronomical metaphor, but watching a movie that has no atmosphere is like living on Mars. Blood Honey, from Canadian director Jeff Kopas, sometimes seems to be nothing but atmosphere; it’s like living on Venus. Kopas’s last film, 2011’s An Insignificant Harvey, suffered from some unfortunate similarities to a superior movie called The Station Agent. Blood Honey, while original and even audacious in its plotting, feels a little too generic in style to be memorable. Somewhere in this filmmaker’s wheelhouse is a Goldilocks-zone film, but I’m still waiting to see it.
