Claudio C @Claudio666 May 27 Great Movie (12,472 – 27 May 2026) In 1950, in Harmony, Alabama, Tyrone "Ty" Purvis owns the Honeydripper Bar that he runs with Maceo. His wife is Delilah and his stepdaughter is China Doll. His bar is full of debts and the blues singer Bertha Mae does not attract audiences anymore that prefer the jukebox. of his competitor. Ty feeds the youth Sonny and the corrupt Sheriff Pugh arrests him to work in the cotton plantation of Judge Gatlin. Ty sees the chance to raise some money bringing New Orleans star "Guitar Sam". But he is at the hospital on the scheduled date and Ty plans a scheme. "Honeydripper" (2007) is a great movie by John Sayles that shows a dark age foe black people in the racist USA. The film is delightful for fans of rock and blues, the plot is very well developed, the cinematography is beautiful and the cast is wonderful. The only flaw is the lack of conclusion. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "Honeycreeper – Do Blues ao Rock" ("Honeycreeper – From Blues to Rock") See more Georgan G @RT98616417 10/19/2024 Music and acting are great in this musical drama. However, the pace is way too slow. See more Frank S @FRANK389 06/05/2023 GREAT BLUES MUSIC. No autotune or computer apps required for this sound. And the story is good too. See more 06/03/2022 Solid, winsome, nicely atmospheric pic depicting the early days of rock and roll. Some decent into pure farce is muted by a stellar cast and some decent music, that does just enough to keep everyone engaged. Worth watching for the opening shot, which rolls out stunning exposition with barely a word uttered: kids, barefoot, dummy instruments, dust, railroad, woods, ambition. Music as a way out, music as an expression of pride. See more 12/10/2019 Yes, it's a trifle slow, but that allows time for character development and the music. See more 01/26/2014 Despite a charismatic cast and good music, Honeydripper feels dull and lifeless. See more Read all reviews
