    Ricci's performance is brave and effective - the most provocative in a career that has rejected Hollywood norms. show more

    The blues music in "Moan" is superfine, but my oh my, what to make of the ripe Southern cliches and this absurd story. The film is so jaw-dropping awful that it just might become a boxoffice hit. show more
