“Once I Was a Beehive” achieves a quality few LDS-themed films have managed to reach: accessibility.
It does this by telling its story through the eyes of an outsider named Lane (Paris Warner). Lane is a 16-year-old girl whose mother marries a Mormon.
Without Lane, “Once I Was a Beehive” might be a simple, two-dimensional parody of yet another quirky aspect of LDS culture. But with her, the film shows the sincere heart beneath some well-trod Mormon stereotypes.
