Not really knowing if this is really a true story or not but I do know she was married to him. This was never mentioned by her in any other interviews. As for the movie it wasn't that bad. It would be nice if the story could actually be corbratated.

Supposedly a prequel to ‘Monster', but nowhere near as good or as accurate. As a true crime drama Monster is way superior. I think much more is fictional than accurate in this film. Peyton List makes a great villain in the right film, and is entertaining in genres like Cobra Kai. Her character is more like some super villain in a teen slasher flick, which is weird considering this is supposed to be based on a real person and real events.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Peyton List se ve hermosa y enojona como siempre pero el personaje (bah la historia de la película en general) jamás llega a tener ningún sentido, no tiene ni pies ni cabeza. Olvidable.

Wasn't that bad and fills in her early story. Did not know any of it. I understand the "monster" tags. Though severely abused.....a monster she was.🙏🏾

Horible, I can't believe I watched this until the end, I was hoping it might possibly redeam itslef but no. Thumbs down across the board on this one. Netflix states that it is "Loosely based on the serical killers life"...VERY loosely would be more accurate.

Probably could have done a few more read throughs. A terrible answer to a question no one asked.

This pseudo-serious "reclaiming" of Wuornos from the Oscar-winning portrait that "Monster" became... is more garbage than trash.

This is a terrible movie that didn't need to be made.

Decider

Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman wants to be another chapter in the Monster story, but it's not clear who asked for this to be told, and besides that, it reads flimsier than a grocery store tabloid.

This is a fascinating, creepy look that explores an unknown side of a notorious serial killer with a stellar cast that helps tell the story. #ScreamFestLA

As with other productions from Farrands, it's a complete waste of time.
