Among her most discussed roles is her performance in Black Snake Moan, where she played a psychologically troubled woman.

Despite the intensity of the performance, her efforts were both lauded and overlooked, with Entertainment Weekly naming her one of the “Worst Oscar Snubs Ever” for her omission from the nominations.
