Rating: 2.5/4 --
Although Honeydripper won a screenplay award at the San Sebastián 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.

Seattle Times
Rating: 3/4 --
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.
Chicago Tribune
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.

Rating: 4/5 --
An endearing and heartfelt elegy to the subtle changes taking place to a small Alabama community in the early 1950s.

Rating: 3/4 --
John Sayles, after 27 years and 16 films, is the ancient mariner of independent cinema, navigating the constantly swirling waters of the genre with passion and skill.

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.

Description by OLDIES.com:
From Oscar nominated director, John Sayles (Lone Star), comes an electrifying and vivid rock n roll tale. When Tyrone (Danny Glover, Lethal Weapon) owner of the Honeydripper lounge, is forced to make a decision whether or not to shut down his juke joint. His only hope is the famous Guitar Sam. As the weekend approaches, the last Saturday night is a make or break for Honeydripper. With beautiful performances by Danny Glover, Charles S. Dutton, Stacy Keach, Mary Steenburgen and Sean Patrick Thomas, and featuring musicians Keb Mo and Dr. Mable John. Honeydripper is an award winning film, full of great music and plenty of soul.
