Synopsis

Plagued by suicidal thoughts, sex worker Aileen meets Selby and finds hope. When she kills a client in self defense, she resolves to give up prostitution. But supporting herself and her new girlfriend through legitimate means proves extremely difficult, and she soon falls back on old ways.

MUBI's take

Before the phenomenon of Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins wrote and directed this true crime drama, a searing portrait of real-life serial killer Aileen Wournos. Charlize Theron’s notoriously transformative performance went on to win her the Academy Award® for Best Actress.
