“Honey Don’t!” is a smutty desert mystery in which the detective, Honey O’Donohue ( Margaret Qualley ), never gets around to solving the central crime. She’s too busy seducing women and swatting down randy men. I’d call the opening murder a red herring except it’s really more like a fish left to cook in the blinding Bakersfield sun.

Margaret Qualley grounds this convoluted mystery, the second installation in Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s lesbian B-movie trilogy.
