This movie followed me home sortof by accident. I found a split release with
The Others (2001) and Monster in the same box at a second hand shop, so home it
came. Since I knew nothing about the film, I had no expectations either.
However the films surprised me in a positive way.
Charlize Theron does a great role as the prostitute serial killer Aileen
Wuornos. Despite the title this is not a horror film, but rather a tragic drama
about two women on the run from quite different worlds, both outsiders in their
own way, that try to find a life together. The dynamic between the two, the
rowdy prostitute Aileen and the more insecure, coming out lesbian Selby (played
by Christina Ricci) carries the film to the very end.
