For anyone even vaguely interested in the real story - or even interested in real writing and acting - do yourself a favour and watch Monster (2003).
In the 2003 movie, the producers/writers/director went to great lengths to make sure the movie was guided by real facts, and picked a cast capable of delivering performances so strong that at times it seemed more like a documentary.
American Boogeywoman by contrast delivers little more than you'd expect to find in gossip magazines, with production/writing/acting more at home in "Days of Our Lives" than in a movie.
Seriously, give this one a miss.

Absolutely great acting at the beginning by penny wise's sister and then it all went downhill from there. Its like a really really bad poison ivy and for anyone who hasn't seen poison ivy it's not good yet it's Oscar material compared to this.
Peyton List is a beautiful young actress who was really good in the Kobra Kai series. Hopefully this movie will become known as the low point in her budding career, cause she can only go up from this disaster. Hope to see much more of her in the future.
Love you, Peyton ---- but I'm really embarrassed for you.

This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time! Would have been mad if I'd paid for it. Seriously bad overacting with an equally bad script. Tobin Bell was good as the Commodore. This movie does portray Wuornos as a smart and witty woman who had incredibly crappy social skills combined with a hair trigger temper, and then it digresses into a bizarre combination of soap opera and a bad noir movie.
This cannot be near the truth, but "based on", so watch it that way. When you want bubble gum for the brain or need background noise - this is the movie for you!

This Film is Freaking Mess, the writing is awful, it's rushed, its just fictionalized version of Aileen's life, Farrands should be Ashamed of the the films he makes and Poor Peyton she honestly deserved better, she's an excellent actress but she didn't need to be in this movie, Peyton should get on the phone and have a word with her agent.
