Editorial Review: Product Description: A shockingly moving film that burrows deep beneath the tabloid-sized headline stories of aileen wuornos the man-hating serial killer executed last year in florida. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 02/28/2006 Starring: Charlize Theron Bruce Dern Run time: 108 minutes Rating: R Amazon.com: Critics have universally praised Charlize Theron's performance in Monster, and the praise, for once, is astonishingly deserved. The gorgeous star of The Italian Job and The Cider House Rules vanishes into the character of Aileen Wuornos, a real-life serial killer and prostitute who murdered at least seven men in Florida. Monster traces her relationship with a young woman named Selby (Christina Ricci, The Ice Storm, Buffalo 66), which intertwines with Wuornos's murder spree. This remarkable movie finds compassion for Wuornos but unflinchingly faces her brutal crimes; Theron expresses this woman's horrific life history without softening her terrifying, dead-eyed stare. This is a gripping, devastating performance, a physical and psychological transformation comparable to Robert DeNiro's in Raging Bull. The movie's moral and emotional complexity wouldn't succeed without this searing performance--but succeed it does, and it will stick with you for some time afterward. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - sympathetic yet horrifying portrayal of a serial killerThis is a great film. The actors are absolutely first rate: Theron must have gained 30 pounds for the part and is completely unrecognizable and thuggishly ugly; Ricci is a kind of mousy yet complicit accomplice, greedy for experience. The two meet and find an unusal synergy: Theron is a seriously troubled, alcoholic hooker with a horrible past and prone to violent rage, and Ricci is a lesbian trying to escape her prying family. Somehow, they find love in a completely believable way. In addition, ...

Instead, it fails miserably on both scores, content to have an ABC Afterschool Special like patina in its approach. I also, after viewing this film, know another reason why I wanted to not see it, and that's because after two years of this unjust and wasteful war of invasion President Bush launched in Iraq I did not want to be reminded that sometimes even the reactionary Right ... Read More Rating: - Monster RevealedMonster Although not entirely accurate in this DVD's representation of Aileen Wournos, at least according to her final confession, it is a well-crafted movie; exciting, and always pushing the envelope. I liked it, and would recommend it to anyone interested in the sad life of Aileen Wournos. It is well-worth watching. Rating: - Hits like a sledgehammer!!!Blood and Rain Blood for the Masses Monster Based on a true story. Written and Directed by Patty Jenkins Starring Charlize Theron as Eileen Wuornos Christine Ricci Revewed By B.L.Morgan Rating: 5 out of 5 The first statement I have to say about Monster is that I did not enjoy watching this excellent movie. Monster is harsh and grim and almost painful viewing. It is also a true story. That in itself ... Read More Rating: - True Story of a Femal Serial KillerExcellent movie about the real life actions of one of the few female serial killers. Very non-exploitative considering it's subject is a pair of lesbian lovers, one of which is an violent murderer. The characters are real, you can feel pity for them and their hard lives, but you also feel the very deserving sense of disgust that they earn for themselves. This reality is brought to the characters by the amazing acting of both Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci, with the infamous transformation of Theron who ...
