Powerful and Moving

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2005)

I didn't have time off work and studies to see this in the cinema so waiting for DVD rental was a pain in the rear.
When it came into our video store I put off watching it for ages and eventually seen it.
I was expecting some horrible killing scenes and what not. This woman was a cold blooded murderer but something about her or maybe Theron's impression of her made me see why she killed. This film made me think a lot throughout and afterwards. I drove people mad talking about it and understanding a woman like Aileen.
Ricci also gives a fine performance. I think she held it well against a brilliant Theron.
I'm sure everyone has seen it by now and is wondering why it's been reviewed ages after release but I'm new and catching up.
Go see and buy it. You won't be disappointed.
