An in-depth interview of Aileen Wournos, a well known female serial killer. She is one of the first women to commit the number of crimes that she did, and the first woman in Florida to be put to death by lethal injection. She was a prostitute turned serial killer, the documentary highlights much of her life and shows thorough interviews with Aileen, her attorney, mother, lover, and many other people that had been in her life.
The way in which the interviews were conducted are very candid and allow the viewer to allow themselves to act as if they are sitting right beside the interviewer. The choppiness of the piece adds a unique flare to it and the way in which the interviewer and camera crew travel from location to location allows the viewer to go on the journey with them.
One of the most eye-opening parts of this documentary is that the people that you surround yourself with can change at the drop of a dime. When Aileen’s mother granted the camera crew an interview there was a price on everything and the price continued to increase as well as her difficulties. Aileen’s lawyer was also very interesting and how he would take some of her actions and saw that she was thinking one thing when it was quite the opposite. I love the rawness of the documentary and how it did not seem like a lot of the footage was cut, the simplicity of the film offers something that is not seen enough, the low budget of the film shines through and is very effective for the story that is being portrayed.
