You'll be glad you saw this

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2004)

I have nothing but praise for this movie. Life isnt always too "goody-goody" like the way Hollywood likes to make movies, you have to be brave to enjoy a film like this but it is highly rewarding in its result. If you love this film and especially Theron's stunning portrayal, you'll fall in love with a film called BOYS DONT CRY (1999) which has similar themes. MONSTER is a film that rides on the strength of its acting, and thats precisely what makes great films in my opinion. My dad on the other hand prefers stunning vistas, simple to digest storys that arent in any way challenging. Oh well. I highly recommend you go to the theatres and see MONSTER and also rent BOYS DONT CRY. You'll be glad you did.
