Evelyn X @yiyi1111 6d It was a truly heartbreaking film, made even more tragic by the knowledge that it's based on a true story. The so-called 'monster' was, in reality, a victim who had been abused and struggling to survive from a very young age. Perhaps the first killing was a choice, but it quickly spiraled into revenge—or maybe she truly believed she was 'cleaning up the streets' by getting rid of bad men. If she had met just anyone who had truly lent a hand, her life might have been completely different. It’s devastating to see how a mere glimpse of kindness made her devote everything to protecting that feeling, even though, to me, that 'kindness' felt manipulative. And is her partner really innocent? She knew how hard money is to earn, yet she spent it freely without caring where it came from. At first, I felt the performance was slightly overacted, almost fake. But then it hit me: maybe that was the point. It portrays a fragile person forcing herself to appear strong and brave—a defense mechanism.

See more Blake C Jul 20 Charlize plays serial killer Aileen Wuornos exactly the way she should, a Monster. Casting and location was on point with make-up for Charlize being a 10/10, if you didn't know what she looks like outside of this film you would be just as shocked as the murders Aileen committed. I wish there was more added towards the end leading up to her execution but that's just my option. Overall gripping film with details of her life that could be questioned due to her later in life interviews but powerful story telling adding to a gritty story. See more Read all reviews
