The shocking and moving true-life story og Aileen Wuornos, heralded as America's "first female serial killer". Nearing suicidal despair, Wuornos (Charlize Theron) wanders into a Florida bar, where she meets and quickly falls for Selby Wall (Christina Ricci). Despire to sustain her relationship with Selby, but unable to find a legitimate job, Wuornos continues working as a prostitute. When one of her johns turns violent, she shoots the man in self-defence; the first in her tragic string of killings.

Co-starring Bruce Dern as Wuornos's friend and confidant, Monster succeeds as a searing social commentary, road movie, and most profoundly, an unlikely love story between two misfits. A critically acclaimed true story from writer-director Patty Jenkins.
