excellent

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2004)

I heard about this movie a few months ago and was immediately intrigued. However, I didn't know if it would be a solid movie with substance, considering all the hype of Charlize having to change herself and all. I was afraid it would present the story similar to a made-for-TV movie. But I must say I'm not disappointed with it at all. I definitely recommend it. Hopefully those who watch it can see more than just the "evil" side of Aileen. While what she did for the most part is inexcusable, I find that this film does a good job of portraying both sides of her story. You feel empathy for her at times, but you also don't forget the things she did. It gives you something to think about, or at least it did for me. Plus Charlize did an incredible job, as did Christina, and I've never been much of a fan of Christina's.
