It wouldn't be the first time that some aspect of someone's life is radically changed for the film version.

I can't think of anything that would induce me to ever watch it again though. You put it right when you said the film is something that one endures.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-20985954993214961382020-04-22T02:32:55.890-05:002020-04-22T02:32:55.890-05:00I saw it just a few weeks before the pandemic and ...I saw it just a few weeks before the pandemic and was very impressed with both Theron and Ricci. A couple of my friends were incredulous that I'd never seen it before.<br /><br />As for accuracy … my perfunctory Internet research and a few short talks with my friends who are serial killer fanatics (this includes my mom, by the way) makes me think that Theron is eerily inhabiting Wuornos but the character played by Ricci deviates wildly from reality. (Ricci is still pretty awesome, though.)Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-19155615913204519432020-04-22T00:59:45.294-05:002020-04-22T00:59:45.294-05:00It is an unpleasant film to watch but it is still ...It is an unpleasant film to watch but it is still a phenomenal film as Theron and Ricci are great in this. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
