Title: Portrait of a fascinating and frightening woman
Review: Aileen Wuornos is a fascinating woman, and her interviews are by far the most mesmerizing part of this documentary film. At times charming, confrontational, remorseful and frightening, Aileen constantly contradicts herself, at times repenting for her crimes and showing sympathy for her victim's families, and at other times maintaining her position as a victim of circumstance and society. So whereas the "Monster" film showed a clearer, more linear narrative of Aileen's life, this documentary leaves the viewer with far more questions than answers. A few of which are "Was Aileen really horrifically abused by her father?" "Did Aileen's first victim really rape and torture her?" "Does Aileen really want to be die?" The only question that seems to have a clear answer after watching this film is this one: "Is Aileen really insane?" The answer is clearly "yes".
