OK - I saw this film the other day and wanted to write a "mini-review" Black Snake Moan was treacherously BEAUTIFUL - Starring 2 of my favorites actually... Samuel Jackson plays a beautiful role as a chritian with a mission to rid ole Girl (played by Christina Ricci) of her most intimate sexual addiction.
Thing is when Samuel sings the blues - you feel it to the core of your bone marrow - When Justin cries - you feel it as well (especially if you suffer or have suffered from mental ailments like anxiety disorders...)
Since I do have mental disorder issues - This film was especially poignant to me - The very last scene I was balling like a 2 year-old getting "mandated" shots for measles & mumps...
Highly recommended film - Not very well known I'd suppose, as I happened upon it via my web surfing endeavors - But truly... There is a song that Samuel Jackson sings... Straightup BLUES! Just WOW! A must-see movie no doubt - AND both the movie and the soundtrack is available on Amazon.com
