Charlize Theron was amazing. Totally becoming Aileen. She was so convincing, I could barely watch the film. What puts a person in such a bad situation that they have to turn to prostitution and murder? Perhaps Aileen saw no other options. She was trying to survive the only way she knew how. Never once in the film did we see anyone who really tried to support and help her. Christina Ricci's character had her own psychological issues. This film is a must see. You may not like it, or the characters, but you can definitely learn something from it.

The fairy-tale romance feels a little out of place, but Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci's performances couldn't be more fitting.

Charlize Theron delivers a career performance by completely disappearing into a dark and tragic role. She and Christina Ricci anchor what is a thought-provoking and sad film. Theron's protagonist isn't likable, but is thoroughly intriguing and raw.

There aren't enough awards that could have been given to Charlize Theron for her work in this one. Hard and painful movie. The fact that it was based on real people and events makes it even more poignant. Don't just stumble into this, it's wrenching.

Theron delivers an astounding performance. I got lost in her character right after the first scene. The fact that she is portraying a real woman only makes it that much more greater. This film shows a side of this notorious serial killer we've never seen and I appreciated that.

Theron deserved her Oscar for this one! She completely transforms into this sad and destructive killer. Very dark and disturbing.

Strong performances by Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci highlight this film, as it explores the life and motivation of Aileen Wuornos. Brutal and graphic at times, the film does a good job of not making Wuornos appear like the victim she claimed to be. If you've had doubts of Theron's acting ability, they should be erased after watching this.

A good movie that is worthy of most Oscar nominations and winnings. I liked it because of the true story side. Really though, it is not all that different from some of the movies you see on court tv. Just good.
