"Mae bia" (aka. "The Snake Lady") is another of those Thai mixtures of exotic jungles, murderous CGI-animals and steamy love scenes. Thai film makers are good at that - but "Mae bia" is not good. It's slow, the ending is disappointing and the story about overly protective snakes as and adultery doesn't have much substance. Also, it's badly edited. So where are the reasons to watch it? They are purely visual ...
First, there's the jungle, the river, the village. It's just nicely captured and contrasted to the skyscrapers in Bangkok. Second, there's the lead couple. Napakpapha "Mamee" Nakprasitte (Makala) is a beauty and her eyes are seductive. She makes a sexy couple with Puthichai Amatayakul (Chanachol) who has an adorable physique and a sweet face. Pity he can barely act and has a stupid grin on his face for the first half of the movie.
So there's Nakprasitte for the boys and Amatayakul for the girls - but that's it. Yeah, I know, that's a weak commendation. But it's really to only thing "Mae bia" has going for it ... Rating
