Charlize Theron's tour-de-force!

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2004)

There is nothing "pretty" about this movie. Charlize and Patty did their homework and captured the essence of Aileen Wournos. You can't help being drawn into Aileen's world. The rapid eye movement, the awkward facial contortions, her need to be loved for herself, and the indignation that anyone can't understand why she did the things she did. You certainly can't excuse her actions, but after this you will no doubt understand why. Was she the `Monster', or the life circumstances that created her?
