I know...I'm slow at getting around to watching movies...but I just saw this one last night.
What did you guys think about it? I just couldn't hardly stand looking at Charlese the entire movie...she was about making me sick! But, hey, that's why she won the Oscar I guess. Wasn't it 30 lbs she gained for the movie?

She looked frighteningly like Wuornos. It's scary, really. The movie was good, pretty darn accurate from what I know, but it's definitely not a feel good movie.

I thought it was a good film, and well done. She did an excellent job in the role, as did Christina Ricci in her portrayal of the girlfriend. But it was definitely disturbing. Larry wouldn't even watch it after the first murder scene.

I would say it is borderline depressing. It isn't one of those movies you sit around and think about for days but, like katzoo said, it isn't a feel-good movie either.

OK, that does it....I'm sending it back to Netflix without watching it....I haven't done that before.....but real life is depressing enough...I'll stick to comedies....
