Outstanding casting...

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2003)

Extra kudos to casting director Feren Casalle. Aside from the superlative breakthrough performance from Charlize Theron, there is also Christina Ricci as her lover. This is a Ricci we've never seen. More vibrant and alive than ever, also displaying a tough veneer that apparently goes down to the core as well.
The film is chock full of terrific character actors, several who play the hapless (and in one case very deserving) victims of Aileen Wournos. Annie Corley is a standout as the woman to whom Selby (Ricci) is in charge of "curing" her of her lesbianism.
