Charlize excellent, much better than the film itself

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2004)

Charlize is in my opinion the most attractive girl around Hollywood and seeing her that fat, with protruding false teeth is really amazing. She did earn the Oscar at all, giving a great performance and playing perfectly the part of a gal plagued since the childhood by every sort of disgrace. You see Theron slowly turning into a psychopath, unable to control any action; the movie doesn't justify her, obviously, but helps the audience to reason and wonder how a killer may be born. Cristina Ricci is also believable in her role and makes a great couple with the leading actress. I figure the movie is worth seeing but under the expectations; what makes it different than other pictures is the way it tells about a serial killer tale. You see the parallel world created by the killer and her girl-friend but nothing of the police investigations and almost nothing about the trial.
