Rialto Movie Of The Week: Monster

CLICK THROUGH TO RIALTO
The story is based on the life of serial killer Aileen Wuornos (Theron), who was executed Oct. 9, 2002, after murdering at least six Florida men while working as a prostitute. In her 1992 trial, Wuornos pleaded innocent, saying she acted in self-defense to prevent being raped, a statement she later recanted. The film centers on Wuornos' life before the murders and her romantic relationship with Selby (Ricci), a woman she dated while still turning tricks and killing men.
