Hagrid R Apr 10, 2019 Black Snake Moan is the type of film that makes you stop and examine your audience before deciding who to recommended it to. It features really solid acting, a great atmosphere, and a strongly different story, but it also gets a bit sick and twisted at times and has no problems doing so. Take my words to heart and then go with your instinct on this one. So for this being a good solid film and for Christina and Samuel being great and delivering very good solid performances that are just great to watch, I give " Black Snake Moan " a C. See more

Leia G Feb 19, 2019 I was pleasantly surprised. Throughout the movie there were turning points that led to either a redemptive track or a tragic track. In fact, the "Trivia" attached as metadata to the film indicate that the original plot involved tragedy. But (spoiler alert!) the film ends up being one of tear-inspiring redemption. Superb acting on the part of both Ricci and Jackson. There was significantly more of Ricci's skin revealed than was necessary for anything more than purposes of titillation. Other than that, I find no fault. Depiction of black-white relationships was inspiring, especially for the South during the period during which the movie takes place, and for that I applaud the makers of this film. Viewers will find themselves falling in love with both the Ricci and the Jackson characters. It's a story of redemption on several levels. I can't imagine that you won't thoroughly enjoy this film.

Rey M Jan 21, 2019 This sexploitatioal Paramount Vantage release cost some millions and lost most of them, and itâ(TM)s easy to see why. Writer/director Craig Brewer seemed to be getting his rocks off with his half naked nymphomaniac character - grimly played by Christina Ricci â" who pops pills, swilling them down with alcohol, between getting her gear off with any number of the unwashed locals - only to end up bashed and dumped by the side of the road. Enter black farmer and ex-blues singer (Sam. L. Jackson) who decides the only way to â~saveâ(TM) her is to chain her to his fireplace (literally!) Brewer then introduces a bunch of Southern Baptist types to shift the focus (slightly) Now he attempts to please both the porn lovers and those who want to play it â~straightâ(TM) â" this mix sits uncomfortably together and one hardly justifies the other. The players work harder than the script deserves and the results shift off in all kinds of perverse directions to an almost tacked on finale. If you donâ(TM)t object to spending a couple of Hrs looking at a series of grungy situations with foul mouthed despots â" you might feel at home â" otherwise, you may want to give this rather ugly exploitation flick a wide burst.

Hagrid S Dec 20, 2017 stunning performances and an incredible soundtrack make this one of the best films of 2007!

Kylo S Dec 10, 2017 "Black Snake Moan" drips in atmosphere, but it's cliched, meandering, and mostly offensive. Samuel L. Jackson plays a Tennessee blues man looking for redemption and find his chance by "helping" stereotypical white trash Christina Ricci. After finding a drunken, half-naked, and beat up Ricci along the roadside, he chains her to his radiator in order to provide tough love until she agrees to change her party girl ways. Yep, the film is just that offensive! Jackson and Ricci are both strong actors and are compulsively watchable, even when they're saddled with garbage like this, but it's only their screen presence that makes this film barely watchable.
