Monster

Monster
Starring: Charlize Theron, Christina Ricci
Directed by: Patty Jenkins
THERON DESERVED HER OSCAR
***(B)This was one powerful movie to say the least. Theron. in her beset performance of her life, plays Aileen Wuornos. a prostitute who meets a young girl named Selby Wall who is a lesbian. They end up becoming lovers and Wuornos wants to start over with a new life. Instead, she kills six men and ends up on death row.
This is one of the most powerful performances in years and Theron does it with style and although she is the "bad guy" I found myself feeling sorry for hewr throughout the movie which is exactly what director Patty Jenkins wants you to think. Congratulations Charlize, you deserved your oscar.
