I saw this movie when it first came out and actually own a copy. But I wanted to rate it on NYPL because I think Charlize Theron's performance is the best performance by an actress out of all the movies that I've seen thus far. (Marion Cotillard in La Vie En Rose comes in a close second). She completely transformed herself to portray Aileen Wuornos and delivers a phenomenal performance!!!! I was stunned, amazed, and mesmerized by her performance and said to myself, "wow, now that's acting!" She won the Academy Award for best actress for this role and she so deserved it! I'm still amazed at how she transformed herself, to the point where she is almost unrecognizable, to "become" Aileen Wuornos. Incredible!!!! Christina Ricci also gave an amazing performance. She's not the little girl from the Addams Family anymore! The movie is a really heartbreaking story and is definitely on my list of must see movies of all time!! 5++++ stars!!!! (and I haven't given 5 stars to any other movie) Outstanding!!!!
