I was really afraid that it was gonna rub me all the wrong ways, but it really pulled through. I've had a secret crush on Christina Ricci since the Adams Family when I was a kid, so this was kind of a dream come true: to see her as a sex addict. Samuel Jackson gives an excellent performance, one that I was very weary at first, but pulled through to make me love this movie. It give me a sense of hope that i wasnt expecting.

I suppose in the end the moral of the story is that we are all people with a past, and most of our choices in the future are built upon that idea.

Strangely watchable , but ultimately less than satisfying.

I love the way that both Samuel Jackson and Christina Ricci take chances like this, and the way that Brewer creates characters of unbelievable forbearance.

In spite of Amelia Vincent's toothsome cinematography and the down-home locations, the movie often has the lumbering, literal-minded rhythms of a second-rate stage play -- not a moan or a howl, but a slow, anxious groan.
