What critics compared Black Snake Moan to
The film’s approach to sexuality recalls the raw sensuality of Black Snake Moan — unabashed and integral to character development.
The crucial fact of Black Snake Moan's jolly and pervasive sense of humor—which is verbal, visual, musical, theatrical, and counter-ideological—brings it much closer to such feminist-absurdist tales of role reversal as Lina Wertmüller's Swept Away or Jane Campion's Holy Smoke.
So unlike complex trash such as “Black Snake Moan” or enjoyable filth like “Wild Things,” the tense, often-funny “Killer Joe” features horrifying behavior for shock value alone.
