Monster (2003)



A prostitute who survived a brutal and abusive childhood in Michigan becomes a thick-skinned but emotionally damaged adult and serial killer.

Intense serial killer drama, dominated by Charlize Theron's inimitable performance.

Halliwell**: "True life crime story, somewhat doggedly directed, but notable for a remarkable performance by Theron as the abused and abusive killer."

Maltin***: "Theron won an Oscar for her raw, no-holds-barred performance...The film works better as a love story...than as an incisive social commentary. Impressive feature debut for writer-director Jenkins."
