Christina Ricci Too Pretty

Christina Ricci plays a good tomboy as she's done before, but she's still too pretty to be playing Wuornos' girlfriend, who is of course, based on Tyria Moore. Moore was a really butch-looking woman and Ricci is still feminine and attractive even with that short haircut. She did give a very underrated, adult performance, though, which I enjoyed. I've always liked her, though.

On Tyria's Facebook she looks even more butch and manly now than she did back then. If I remember correctly people were skeptical Aileen could overpower all of these men by herself and murder them, so they figured Tyria had to be in on it. I can understand that because she looks like she could take on a man, but Aileen really doesn't.

She shot them - she didn't need to overpower them.

I agree. They should have made her look worse like they did with Theron. It just takes away from the realism of the film when you have such gorgeous people playing these roles.
