Movie #212 - Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer (1992)
***


It was a pleasnt surprise to see that this film was NOT a documentary about what Aileen Wuornos did (I GREATLY enjoyed that dramatic account in the film, MONSTER) but rather a documentary about how her newly adoptive mother and lawyer seemingly pimped out her story to the highest bidder, all the while preaching forgiveness, innocence, and love. Of course, what Wuornos did was worse, but to see the british documentarians given the runaround because they haven't paid sufficiently for the Aileen Wuornos story, its pretty damn disturbing. If nothing else, the film shows how brilliant Charlize Theron was in portraying Wuornos in 2004. Solid Documentary!!
