Top Critic Além de investigar com maior profundidade as origens da violência de Aileen, o documentário ainda comprova a perfeição da performance de Charlize Theron em Monster.

Top Critic The film stands quite chillingly as a final statement from a woman trying to fight her own commodification.
05/21/04
Aileen is, if anything, a scathing indictment against the death penalty and its proponents, keeping with the concept that all life is precious.

Not even Charlize Theron's lauded portrayal of the accused can compete with the captivating genuine article, whose calculated professions of remorse barely conceal her festering rage at a lifetime of mistreatment.
04/23/04
Though unpleasant to watch, Life and Death of a Serial Killer presents a portrait of evil, betrayal and banality that's almost impossible to take your eyes off of.
04/21/04
While I prefer more even-handed approaches to documentary film, there’s no denying the power of the footage, particularly that featuring [Aileen] Wuornos.
04/09/04
This compassionate documentary should be of strong interest to viewers of the previous Wuornos film or the current Monster.
04/09/04
It's clear Theron didn't so much resemble [Wuornos] as she did channel her deeply tormented soul, in a way that Broomfield never manages to do.
04/08/04
The filmmaker misses too many opportunities by focusing too much on himself.
04/02/04
Even as Broomfield inserts himself (as usual) into the narrative, Wuornos grabs the spotlight with all of her wild-eyed fury.
04/02/04
As much about the culture that produces and fears, consumes and condemns, an Aileen Wuornos as it is about Aileen Wuornos.
03/23/04
Broomfield, who keeps himself in the frame as he investigates, tells the story with the panache of a pulp true-crime author.
