Language of the film
Regarding this edit (changing order of languages in infobox to place Macedonian first) and this edit (including Bosnian as a language of the film in the infobox): Please refer to the documentation for Infobox film, under the parameter "language". Unlike IMDb (which tries to list every language spoken in a film, even if it's only one line), Wikipedia lists the single language primarily spoken in the film's dialogue. In the case of Honeyland, that is Turkish. Sources: Therefore the infobox should list only one language, Turkish (not Macedonian, and not Serbo-Croatian or Bosnian).

 * Have you seen the movie? If you saw it you would have noticed that the only language is not Turkish, but Macedonian (check this Honeyland IDFA) & indeed Bosnian (which I can't unfortunately find reliable source about, except iMDB. So, not sure about the latter, but Macedonian should be there, right after Turkish. — Tom (T2ME) 19:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have seen it (but that's of no relevance, since while viewing it I had no way of discerning what language was being spoken). Wikipedia's guidelines for infobox film dictate that only the film's main language is mentioned in the infobox. The link you supplied (to the programme note at IDFA) lists Turkish first, indicating that is the main language of the film. The two sources I listed above also confirm that the main language is Turkish. Finally, you can look at the press kit from the official site, where on page 1 the film's language is listed as "Turkish with English Subtitles".  Mathew5000 (talk) 19:46, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Move to Honeyland?
Given the |Honeyland_(2019_film) page view disparity, I think this qualifies as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Honeyland". Could we move it? Sdkb (talk) 08:06, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Given that there's a huge difference (1 vs. 1000 views per day), I think it would be a good idea. DD1997DD (talk) 08:23, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not exactly sure how to implement that, but listed it here. Sdkb (talk) 09:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I've been bold and done it. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 10:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Better mixed review
I think the critical reception section has a good balance reflective of the movie's actual critical reception — almost all positive, with one mixed. For that mixed review, I think Richard Brody's take for The New Yorker might be a more compelling option, though. Sdkb (talk) 09:02, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

To what extent is it a true story?
Lot's of people are asking this in other internet forums. So I think the article should address it. KevinMcCready (talk) 09:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added Dina Iordanova's (a scholar of Balkan cinema) review. It's quite interesting to see how a blatantly fake "documentary" got %100 on Rotten Tomatoes. --Gogolplex (talk) 15:21, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
