Review of Monster

Monster (2003)
10/10
How could anyone even pose a threat to Charlize Theron?
6 March 2004
I really need to see the other movies that had a Best Actress nominated to see why Charlize Theron wasn't a slam dunk for the Oscar. She was NOTHING short of brilliant.

Her acting job in this movie was indescribably impeccable. The range and depth isn't even worth commenting on, because words could not do it justice.

I've heard that people were amazed by her performance but disappointed with the movie, and I don't know how they can think that. She is in nearly (except for a few short scenes with just Christina Ricci) every scene in the movie (which is an incredible feat to pull off so well).

The movie was depressing, gruesome, heartbreaking, and phenomenal. I had to sit for a little bit through the credits to gather myself after being hit so hard with such a "downer," yet amazing, movie.

Anyone who just loves to keep up with the Academy Award nominations, or appreciates incredible acting should definitely treat themselves to this.
