how if felt watching this film

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2004)

I went into the theatre without an idea of what the film was aside from the fact that I'd heard theron would look "ugly"....I'd just told my gf that if an actress purposely looks ugly, the film must be good since it's worth is more likely carried on dramatic performance. It is become cliche in hollywood in recent years...the truth of that statement...but I didn't think it would be as true as I realized it to be.
I was deeply moved and for moments disturbed by this film. Certain scenes made me seriously contemplate getting up and leaving the theatre. But I am glad that I stayed because theron's portrayal of "a dying soul" was breathtaking.
