Monster Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
If the film is a bit too soft on its subject, it is even more taken with its leading lady. Theron overwhelms.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
A small movie with a gigantic performance by Charlize Theron.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
[An] intricate and tender movie.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Brutal, brilliant, depressing and riveting.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
First-time director Patty Jenkins takes us inside a year in Wuornos' turbulent life, building her movie around Theron's dynamite performance, raw, exposed and nerve-wracking in its immediacy.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
[Theron] captures the essence of the woman, a lifelong victim who preys on her customers with the determined sadness of someone who has finally snapped inside.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
There's Theron, like a force of nature, compelling us to go beyond TV-movie supposition and look Wuornos straight in the eye.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Certainly, the much-ballyhooed performance of Theron is ferocious and terrifying.
Las Vegas Mercury
Jeannette Catsoulis
That Theron rises to the challenge is remarkable; the challenge for audiences will be to avoid confusing a great performance with a great movie.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
With the exception of Charlize Theron's masterful performance as Wuornos, the film is a misguided mess.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Powerful, painful for mature audiences only.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Great, good for her, Theron's performance here easily one for the ages. Too bad the movie it's given in doesn't deserve it, Monster a monstrously disappointing mess.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Walks a very delicate line: It doesn't excuse or glamorize the actions of its main character, serial killer Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron), but it does offer an understanding of her -- or, at least, of the version of Wuornos this film presents.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Ms. Theron has ventured far beyond mere surface impersonation -- although that is startling enough -- to an insightful penetration of her subject's psyche.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
An okay movie made nearly great by one great thing: the bravura, mercilessly watchable performance of Charlize Theron.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Improbable as it sounds in such a brutal protagonist, Aileen has a three-dimensional credibility.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Theron's work here stands with that of Jennifer Connelly, Hope Davis, Naomi Watts, Cate Blanchett and Charlotte Rampling as one of the best female performances of 2003.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Its series of weak excuses and cliched insights illuminate nothing, and the movie ends up little more than a lesbian slasher flick.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There's the uncanny sensation that Theron has forgotten the camera and the script and is directly channeling her ideas about Aileen Wuornos. She has made herself the instrument of this character.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A gruesome, helpless spiral barely saved by an actress locating humanity where few would have cared to bother.
