- Synopsis:
A prostitute since she was 13, Aileen Wuornos (Theron) is a drifter with no friends and no family. Alone in a Florida bar and on the brink of suicide, she meets a young woman, Selby Wall (Ricci). Misfits thrown together by chance, they're kindred spirits - Aileen, the victim of a tragic and abusive upbringing; Selby, rejected and abandoned by her parents. Aileen is desperate to sustain the relationship that soon develops between the two of them and earns money the only way she can - turning tricks. Then, one fateful night a John turns violent. In self-defence Wuornos shoots him dead and unleashes inside herself a rage that will compel her to kill...and kill again. Monster is the true and often moving story of the woman who was doomed to become America's first female serial killer - Actors:

Very moving - Monster review by A
Powerful, moving and emotional piece that really makes you think. I loved the balance in this movie, how she was shown both as extremely vulnerable and same time highly volatile and dangerous. Well-directed, well-shot, well-acted.
