Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Trudging nobly under a mantle of impeccably earnest intentions and a fussy, too-quaint-by-half production design, Honeydripper lags and drags to its utterly predictable end. There's not a spark of spontaneity or soul about it.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,
21 Feb 2008
rotten:
Although Honeydripper won a screenplay award at the San Sebastian Film Festival, it's not Sayles' strongest work. Part of the problem is that it keeps building to a rock-'n'-roll payoff that never quite arrives.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
22 Feb 2008
fresh:
Even more than the music in this musically rich picture, the great pleasure of Honeydripper is in watching Danny Glover as Tyrone Purvis, the club owner.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
29 Feb 2008
fresh:
It survives on its versatile leads, its smoky cinematography (courtesy of Dick Pope) and its seductive musical performances, which run from gospel to jazz to blues to the to the electrifying kick-start of early rock 'n' roll.
– Amy Biancolli,
Houston Chronicle,
7 Mar 2008
fresh:
While this may not be the rowdiest birth-of-rock-'n'-roll film ever made -- it's very likely the least rowdy -- Sayles addresses a transitional moment in his own patient, precise way.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
