Charlize is Oscar bait!

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2003)

If Charlize doesn't win the Oscar for best actress then there's no justice in the world. Her appearance as Aileen Wournos shows no trace of her beautiful self, her acting and mannerisms are incredibly real.
It is directed well for a first timer. The story is told succinctly without any flashy effects.
The plot itself is OK, it shows some of the nasty situations that Aileen was subjected to and to others. It sheds light on why she killed. Ricci suffices as a childlike
