This is what acting is all about

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2006)

Just the most incredible acting I've yet seen from Charlize Theron! This is what true acting is all about! She WAS Aileen Wournos. Monster is one of the most well-put-together movies I have ever seen. It's a pity the story is so tragic. It's not often that a group of people can come together and make a movie that does justice in every way to the subject, perhaps justice is the wrong word, but I felt that by the end of the film nothing more need have been shown or said. Perfect script and I have to say handled perfectly by all concerned. Richly deserves the award attention it received. I'm gushing here I know, sorry but this one really IS a must-see film. If you like to be told a story so well that IT is all you see/hear for 2hrs then this is one for you. It felt like the truth and looked like the truth and after doing some research I found it IS the truth, a real 'based on fact' movie. You have no choice here, love it or hate it you WILL be captivated by Charlize Theron in the lead role.
