Trailer


Reviews


88
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Ricci's performance is brave and effective - the most provocative in a career that has rejected Hollywood norms.
78
Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
The story is as humorous and raunchy as a good blues refrain, and the way Lazarus and Rae react to each other almost resembles the classic call-and-response structure of the blues.
75
Premiere - Glenn Kenny
Perpetually wide-eyed and mega-snarly bedraggled, Christina Ricci prowls through Black Snake Moan looking like something the cat dragged in. If you're anything like me, you'll be very grateful to the cat.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
It's outlandish, hilariously overripe, and possibly sexist: You'd expect no less from Craig Brewer, the writer and director who made the passionate case for how hard it is out there for a pimp. But I loved the picture's tabloid energy and heart.

Variety - Todd McCarthy
Mix Brigitte Bardot in "And God Created Woman" with Carroll Baker in "Baby Doll," sex it up times 10 and you have a notion of the effect of Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan.
