Honeydripper (PG)

Dir: John Sayles
With: Danny Glover, Yaya DaCosta


John Sayles's Oscar-nominated storytelling talents lend a rich glow to this slight tale about the birth of rock and roll. Danny Glover plays Tyrone Purvis, owner of the Honeydripper bar where the music is live and fabulous, but no-one wants to hear it when there's a new-fangled jukebox in the joint next door. Desperate to lure the punters back, Tyrone allows Sonny (Gary Clark Jr) to plug in his electric gee-tar. Honeydripper starts at a slow blues pace and stays that way longer than it should. Once Sonny's story gets moving, the beat picks up and the closing section is a belter. If your feet aren't tapping by then, see a doctor.
