A freaky murder mystery involving Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley is making its way to Netflix after a disappointing release in 2025. Despite a stellar cast, the film wasn’t able to find much success when originally released in August 2025.
According to Decider, the Ethan Coen-directed film has quietly dropped on Netflix and is available to stream on the streaming platform already. If you haven’t seen this raunchy flick, here’s what Honey Don’t is about and whether you should watch it or skip it.
What Is Aubrey Plaza’s Honey Don’t About?

Starring Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley in leading roles, the film is a murder mystery written by Tricia Cooke and directed by Ethan Coen (one of the Coen brothers).
The 2025 film is a neo-noir black comedy and is the second in what Ethan Coen calls a “lesbian B-movie trilogy” (via Deadline) following Coen and Tricia Cooke’s Drive-Away Dolls in 2024.
The plot of the film revolves around private investigator Honey O’Donahue (Margaret Qualley). As she probes into this series of strange deaths, a mysterious church starts becoming the center of crime.
Qualley is joined by Aubrey Plaza as MG Falcone, a police officer in town, as they both continue their romantic fling while trying to solve this case. The film received mixed reviews upon release, which brings us to our next question.
Honey Don’t: Should You Stream It or Skip It?

Ethan Coen’s solo neo-noir comedy is a classic vibe movie, which is high on style and low on logic. Critics and audiences have noted that the mystery doesn’t really go anywhere. The film also jumps between goofy comedy and jarring violence.
On the other hand, Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza are widely considered the film’s highlights, especially with their on-screen chemistry. Chris Evans also leans into the sleazy villain trope.
So, there are both good and bad sides to this movie. You can stream the movie if plot, music, and structure are not something that you care much about. However, if you want to feel the Coen brother’s magic, you should skip this one.
