When i started watching it i was just feeling bad for being turned on , then when you start to understand whats going on , this movie takes you to a place that you couldnt even imagine .
the messagfe in this movie is very important , and very real . i myself met people with similar situations , and i wish that i could do what happpened in that movie , well maybe exept the bondage part . in the end , this movie is about help , the exact help from the exact person that you need . and in this good ending , everybody got the help they needed . something that you cant just not to wish everyone.

This is one of those little gems that I propably wouldn't pick up if it wasn't on TV. This drama is a full package. Good acting, meaningful story, skillful directing and blues! Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci are very good tandem in this story of dysfunctional girl somewhere in America. She is sexy and disturbed and SLJ is good as always ( did he ever had a bad role? ). We have some chains and a lot of pain that needs to be cured! Definitely recommend for all people who are looking for more than entertainment.

You can always expect a competent performance from Samuel L. Jackson, but Christina Ricci is simply outstanding here in her role as the white trash town whore Rae, devastated by her boyfriend's enlistment in the Army. Some will see this as a sexploitation film, what with Ricci's nearly naked body on display most of the time, and the theatrical poster suggesting a bondage theme to titillate potential movie goers. The picture itself is a bit more complex than that, examining the fragile relationship between a down and out former blues man and the woman he's attempting to cure of her sex addiction. What didn't quite ring true for me was the idea that Lazarus (Jackson) didn't know who Rae was when he found her by the side of the road. Seems like everyone else in town knew about her and her sordid reputation. For her part, Rae's unbridled lust to get it on with anything that moved seemed seriously hyped; that scene suggesting her seduction of young Lincoln (Neimus K. Williams) went clearly over the top. This isn't the type of film one seeks out for it's entertainment value because it's pretty bleak most of the time, though the redemption theme gets to play out in due course, even if the credibility factor gets stretched to the max. I thought the story was a good one, and if you're a fan of blues music, the bar scene when Jackson brings out the Gibson ES-335 is a cool bonus.

This is the kind of movie where a man shows a woman how to act like a woman. The problem here is that it somehow assumes that a male chaining up a woman is anything other than a form of abuse. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? I could not even watch the full movie because I was so annoyed. As a rape victim, this disgusted me. It is never OK to treat a woman like this.This movie guises itself as a coming of age drama, but really, It was just meant for men to get off on. I see no other usage for this film than sexual fantasy fodder, and affirmation that women need men. Even worse this is his spiritual duty. It's some crazy Christian propaganda. Women's sexual freedom bad!! SINFUL!! Male dominance good, control that nasty out of control WOMAN!! Wear the clothes I THINK are appropriate, Act the way I think is appropriate. This is a movie constructed from gibberish with no moral other than "BEHAVE WOMAN!"
