Notes

My quick rating - 7,2/10. An exceptional look at the life of Americas first known female serial killer to be executed. I really only knew the basic story, but this movie shines a completely new light on here life, and is portrayed incredibly by Charlize Theron. Any movie such as this is supposed to shock you, but I was more turned by the fact I was somewhat feeling bad for her and in my head justifying what she did. To an extent, of course, but between Therons performance and the story, of which I am not sure how much is embellished, I really was torn. Ricci as her love interest also did a great job and overall, this is a masterclass in acting, male or female. If somehow you haven't seen it, put this one on the list. I could go on, but I am sure there have been entire semesters of criminal psychology dedicated to this movie alone. And I am aware of the forum I write in, the more I say, the less likely you all are to finish reading.
