  An unusual tale which is had to pin down to a genre, and yet still manages to fascinate and captivate in equal measures. Jackson, Ricci and Timberlake weigh in ... read more »

  DARK SNAKE MOAN
  
  Great film, full of compassion and care for a really messed up girl and a troubledblues guitarist. The film is not predictable and is thoroughly enjoyable.

  Black Snake Moan
  
  Fabulous acting from Jackson and Ricci. Some nudity and Ricci looks good and realistic. Story line not much to write home about but it is still worth a punt.
