Charlize Theron gives her finest performance yet in the unlikely role of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in this riveting depiction of the Florida prostitute's decent into madness.
April 29, 2009
Theron is the most convincing actress to play Aileen Wuornos ever and really dives into the role...
July 18, 2008
Theron makes Aileen realistically frightening and unreachable at times. Murder in her hands is certainly not cool.
October 12, 2010
By "Monster's" end, nothingness replaces Aileen Wuornos' ferocity - evidence of exhaustive efforts from Patty Jenkins and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron to emphasize this serial killer's fraying sanity, not her crimes' sensationalism.
January 16, 2004
A small movie with a gigantic performance by Charlize Theron.
December 26, 2010
Powerful, painful for mature audiences only.
January 16, 2004
If the film is a bit too soft on its subject, it is even more taken with its leading lady. Theron overwhelms.
January 16, 2004
In the same way the beefed-up Theron fills the movie's tightly composed frames to bursting while pushing everything else to the margins, her showstopping rage blows through film like a tornado.
May 04, 2010
The film's worth seeing for Charlize Theorn's stunning performance, based on complete physical and psychological transformation, but as a dramatic feature, it lacks an interesting perspective and is underpopulated in terms of characters.
January 16, 2004
Brutal, brilliant, depressing and riveting.
January 16, 2004
The hype around the film Monster is justified by the performance of Charlize Theron.
January 21, 2004
Ms. Theron has ventured far beyond mere surface impersonation -- although that is startling enough -- to an insightful penetration of her subject's psyche.
