From a Monster's point of view

Went yesterday to see Monster. Charlize Theron gave an amazing performance. I think she deserves the highest accolades for her portrayal of a 'serial killer'- I have this in quotes because in my heart of hearts I don't believe this woman was a serial killer - I think she was just too damaged, turning her into a 'Monster'. She brought so much to this role - she overshadowed Christina Ricci (and I am a huge fan of hers as well). The work was so powerful and so very disturbing and I cried at a couple of points because of the rawness and honesty. Go - please go see this movie - remember it is very disturbing and violent, but if I have to recommend one movie for an oscar this year - it's Monster. Amazing.
