Comforted by One of the Greatest Performances Ever

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2008)

I knew going in to expect something special from Monster. The experts, I'd heard, read. I looked forward to seeing another great performance by an actor. I had no idea.
I'm comforted witnessing--whatever else she can or cannot, does or does not do--Charlize Theron's pure genius. Never doubt, this performance is one of the greatest of all time. What else can I say? Why?
Watch this movie to watch an actor become someone else, arguably, like you've never seen before.
Monster is a unique, suspenseful story wonderfully acted, directed, told.
