Charlize Theron delivers an Oscar-winning transformation to become Aileen Wuornos, haunting and raw. Wuornos murdered seven men while working as a sex worker and came to be known as America's first female serial killer. Monster delves deep into her traumatic life as well as her complex relationship with Selby Wall played by Christina Ricci. Theron is both sympathetically and terrifyingly conveying Wuornos' vulnerabilities and rage. Under Patty Jenkins' direction, this movie does not glamorize but brings out the socio-economic struggles and abuse under which Wuornos survived.
