September 29, 2009Excellent film, a real surprise! Ricci & Jackson work really well together but its Samuel L who really steals the show with a knock-out performance. It annoys me that people are comparing to his role in Pulp Fiction though, the only similarity is that he reads a passage from the ...( read more)

June 6, 2009fantastic performance both by Christina Ricci and Samuel Jackson - Ricci particularly impressive. I had problems with the texts in places but then I often do with the Afro American accent - that's more a personal problem than one of the filming. It wasn't quite the film I was e...( read more)

October 6, 2008One thing this movie had that I didn't expect so much was power. The scenes were wonderfully crafted to evoke as much emotion as possible. A help to this was the great musical sound of the blues. Just a guitar and a voice that pound their way into your brain.
We all know that Sa...( read more) -
September 8, 2008The first thing that I have to warn you about Black Snake Moan is that Samuel L. Jackson should never be allowed to sing on film for as long as he lives.
Black Snake Moan is about a Tennessee blues singer (Jackson) whose wife just left finding a young girl (Christina Ricci who ...( read more) -

November 4, 2009That was one sexy movie, for the music alone!
Samuel L. Jackson is The Coolest Man On The Planet! He played some amazing tunes, here -which he wrote himself.
He cleansed Christina Ricci of her Wickedness and was still his usual cool fucking self!
I reckon anyone should watch this...( read more) -

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
This is one of those ludicrous, semi-offensive, semi-entertaining potboilers that feels as if the script were dragged out from someone's naughty-book stash. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim
Strangely watchable , but ultimately less than satisfying. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
I love the way that both Samuel Jackson and Christina Ricci take chances like this, and the way that Brewer creates characters of unbelievable forbearance. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
In spite of Amelia Vincent's toothsome cinematography and the down-home locations, the movie often has the lumbering, literal-minded rhythms of a second-rate stage play -- not a moan or a howl, but a ...

Claudia Puig, USA Today
An absurdly jarring collection of archetypal characters in miserable circumstances with a resolution that feels forced and tacked on. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It may pull you into the tent with a promise of hoochie-koochie girls, but it delivers a rousing sermon on faith, hope and charity before it lets you back out again. full review

August 28, 2007I was very impressed by the raw honesty of this movie, one cannot watch this movie without an open mind in order to fully understand it's meaning. we all have our demons and there is never simply "one" way to rid ourselves of them. Christina Ricci rocked her character and a surprisingly good performance by a very sexy Justin Timberlake and as usual Samuel L. Jackson was flawless. Kick ass film!!

July 29, 2007This movie is nothing like you expect. No bondage per se. Watch it with an open mind. Ricci's performance is awesome. Why Mr. Jackson doesn't have 5 or 6 Oscars is beyond me.
