This was a very powerful movie, not one I'd watch over and over again because it's very difficult to watch, knowing that it all really happened. Charlize deserves all the credit she got for this film, as she did an outstanding job playing an extremely difficult role. I get the chills just thinking about it. I recomend seeing this movie, but I don't think it'll be added to my movie collection.

I just saw the real Eileen Wournos on an HBO documentary. The physical resemblence that Charlize Theron had to the serial killer was frighteningly remarkable and her on-screen performance was worthy of an Oscar. Halle Berry could take a lesson or two from her about Oscar-worthy performances.

I must have watched a different movie or something because all I saw was an annoying woman, that looked like a guy, shoot and rob a couple of men. I can't help but wonder if Charlize got the oscar for that lesbian love scene.

The movie was bad, they didn't show Christina Ricci's boobs if they did it might've gotten a 4.

An excellent drama about the notorious female serial killer Aileen Wuonos. Charlize Theron did an excellent jon as the evil female serial killer and Christina Ricci did another excellent job as Wuonos's lesbian lover. Wuonos killed seven men in Florida in 1990 and she rightfully got the death penalty. She was executed in 2002.

a4.5. a well done movie about the serial killer Aileen Wournos. Charlize theron was excellent as the hooker turned murderer.Christina Ricci did a fine acting job as well. After seeing a documentary on the real Aileen W. Charlize was very convincing as Aileen. Very good movie.

I love Charlize!! It was amazing how they made her look like Aileen. She looked just like Aileen...but a younger version of her. This movie was excellent, and Charlize was stellar. This movie was a big break for her. The end was so sad and made me cry. I liked this movie so much that I bought it on dvd the first day it came out. Charlize definitely deserved all the awards she received for this film.

This film was sad and very disturbing at times, but it was brilliant. Many times in films when they portray a serial killer you either hate them, sympathise with them or you simply don't get them. You absolutely cannot condone ruthless murders, but in Monster you gain an understanding of one woman's tactic for survival, a clear understanding of why she did what she did and most of all her universal search to be loved and accepted. Christina Ricci underplayed the character of Selby nicely and Charlize prooved that shes not just a pretty face by not only physically transforming herself, but mentally too. For the first time in a long time I can honestly say that someone rightfully deserved the Best Actress Oscar gong this year.

The real tale of Aileen Wuornos who posed as a prostitute and killed men who were her johns. Charlize Theron does not look like herself. She actually does look like Aileen Wuornos and is as convincing as her.
