Movie Review | ‘The Rivals of Amziah King’ is a Southern-fried flick with too many ingredients

It turns out that the honey business isn’t as sweet as it sounds: In the new movie The Rivals of Amziah King, beekeepers steal from each other, poison rivals’ insects and rip folk off. “It’s not full of kind people,” the title character warns. The Rivals of Amziah King isn’t as sweet as it thinks it is, either. Instead of picking a single variety to explore, the movie is a maddening mishmash of genres – blending Quentin Tarantino’s sudden brutality, a coming-of-age tale, a heist flick, a revenge fantasy and a sweet, music-filled country hoedown.
