Black Snake Moan



Like a forlorn, grunge ballad of the dirty south, Black Snake Moan is beautifully ugly. It manages to be both superbly odd and unconventionally affectuous, with a relationship so tender and selfless at it's core it is impossible not to admire. What strikes as outrageous at the onset, undoubtedly proves to be a bittersweet tale of redemptive, sacrificial love.

As far as performances go, Christina Ricci and Samuel L. Jackson are exceptional and Justin Timberlake is effective.

You gonna give me another bath?
