Critical reception

[edit]

Film critic Roger Ebert called the film "sly and entertaining"[4] yet ultimately predictable and disappointing:

The movie remains resolutely at the level of superficial cliché, resisting any temptation to make a serious statement about the character's hard-drinking, self-destructive lifestyle...Honeysuckle Rose has the kind of problems that can be resolved with an onstage reconciliation in the last scene: Willie and Dyan singing a duet together and everybody knowing things will turn out all right.[4]

Regarding Willie Nelson's performance, Janet Maslin wrote in the New York Times:

Mr. Nelson doesn't entirely fit his role, any more than the other actors fit theirs. He seems too odd, too solitary, for all the intimacy forced upon him by the story line. But he brings tremendous authority to every gesture, and his character is the only thing in the movie about which the audience is bound to want to know more. Mr. Nelson accomplishes all this in a role with very little dialogue, which makes his sheer force of personality seem all the more impressive.[5]

The film was screened out of competition at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival.[6]

Wide Open Country music magazine ranked it the second best Willie Nelson film, behind Red Headed Stranger.[7]

Honeysuckle Rose holds a 60% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on six reviews.[8]
