Streaming Honeydripper Online.
Movie Title: Honeydripper Honeydripper is available for streaming or downloading. |
Honeydripper is probably one of the best movies I’ve seen in the last year or so, besides the Great Debaters. Danny Glover gives a great performance of a bar/club owner who has to compete with the new sounds of the day, rock & roll, as opposed to the blues singing that was the prominent popular music along with Jazz for so many years.

It’s set in the south and portrays things the way they were without being too over-dramatic and all the characters are likeable. Charles ‘Roc’ Dutton does a great job as Danny’s sidekick also. Look out for Keb’ Mo’, the blues singer that is surprisingly very good as the mysterious guitar player that keeps appearing throughout the movie to give Danny advice.
It’s rare that you see such a good movie that portrays African-Americans as humans with emotions without being silly, campy, or unrealistic. If you’ve seen the movie Life with Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence, this one has the same time period piece feel, but told as a serious story about how we have to deal with a constantly changing world.
John Sayles, perhaps more than any other American filmmaker, has his finger on the pulse of what make this country special. A gifted storyteller, not one of his films is alike, but hes’s at his best when he takes a small moment in time and uses it to explore a major change. EIGHT MEN OUT uses the Black Sox scandal to reflect the loss of innocence of our nation. LONE STAR uses a murder mystery to unearth skeletons long hidden, etc. With HONEYDRIPPER, Sayles latest, he explores the moment Blues Became Electric, opening the door for Rock & Roll, the dominant music of the last half of the 20th Century. He does so in the style of the late August Wilson, using quiet rhythms and essentially one locale to tell the story. In the process, he gets allows his stellar cast to deliver some great performances, including Danny Glover, Charles S. Dutton, Keb Mo, Vondie Curtis-Hall and newcomer YaYa Dacosta, as China Doll. Gary Clark, Jr. is a little stiff in his acting debut, but once he picks up the guitar, he puts a smile on your face. Parts of the story may move a little slow, but Honeydripper’s built for comfort, not for speed. Once you know the plot, you’ll begin to pick out minor details in the fabric of the film that absolutely glow. Mind you, this is a film that could never be made within the Hollywood studio system, so if you’re looking for Rush Hour 3, then move along. But if you like a good story told well or just love the Blues, Honeydripper deserves a spot on your personal video shelf.
