Ho-micidal.
Mini-Review: Now I know why Charlize Theron received so much praise for her
performance. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but there's no
doubt Charlize is a natural beauty and to see her in such an unattractive
state was a bit unsettling. Aside from the physical transformation,
she really took on Aileen Wuornos' mannerisms. Granted that at times
her performance seems over the top, but for all I know it may have
been a spot on portrayal rather than an over-exaggeration. Christina
Ricci is also very good as Aileen's young lesbian lover, but the
meek & innocent Ricci looks nothing like the real-life manly Tyria Moore. Overall the film was intriguing and
compelling. Nice work, Patty. Recommended.
