About this product

Product Information

Charlize Theron delivers a knockout, cast-against-type performance in this gritty drama, based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, a down and out prostitute who was sentenced to death after killing six men between 1989 and 1990. Christina Ricci co-stars as Selby Wall, a lesbian runaway who forms a romantic bond with Wuornos. Inspired by her love (even though she is not gay, strictly speaking) Wuornos tries to get a real job, but after meeting with a string of humiliating failures, she returns to work as a hitchhiking hooker, killing her first victim in self-defence after he rapes and beats her. Eventually, robbing and murdering her clients becomes almost second nature and by the end Wuornos even slays a man who was totally innocent (Scott Wilson). Theron's portrayal of this dangerous yet sympathetic character ranks with some of the greatest performances in cinema. Under heavy makeup, extra weight, and a snarling countenance, she proves herself a fearless, formidable talent, completely unrecognisable from the glamorous beauty of such films as THE ITALIAN JOB (2003) and THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (1997). First-time director Jenkins proves herself with this fluid and engrossing work, capturing a lot of sordid detail that other movies exploring this milieu might miss; she also wrote the script, based on actual conversations and prison letters from Wuornos. The moody, paranoia-enhancing soundtrack is by electronica maestro BT.

    This film will reach inside you and wring you out. Recommended.

    This is a surprisingly poignant film and Charlize Theron deserved every nomination and award she won for it. Yeah, it's grim, and depressing, but it's touching too. The fact that the viewer can feel compassion and sadness for a woman who committed such heinous crimes (for which some had no excuse) is testament to CT's acting ability. This film is proof that, despite what some people insist upon, we are *not* all born equal. Some are born into struggle and hardship and it's a pattern that continues their whole lives despite their best efforts to change it.

    Fantastic film.

    As it says on the front of the DVD... This is one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema. Very true. No wonder Charlize Theron won an Oscar. She looks nothing like Aileen Wuornos and portrayed her brilliantly. An epic film.
