Biopic of Aileen Wuornos, serial killer.

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2004)

Mind blowing performance by Charlize Theron, as Aileen Wuornos - highway prostitute and serial killer.
This film succeeds in inspiring sympathy for a woman who was vilified in the American press as a 'Monster', showing that there are two sides to every story.
It also provided an excellent example of why the death penalty does not work as a deterrent.
Christina Ricci played Aileen's girlfriend, Selby, who was not in real life as young and pretty as Ricci. But I agree with comments made by Jenkins that ultimately this was a film that had to make money at the end of the day, and a young, pretty character was far more 'watchable' and provided a startling contrast to the less savoury character of Wuornos, as played by Theron.
