SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

marcmillar23 If you like documentaries on serial killers or murderers, this is obviously one for your collection. Nick Broomfield has you captivated from the outset. My only gripe is that I felt that Broomfield laid a bit too much pressure on Wournos. He kept repeating the same question over and over to her and you can sense it is tiring her out, even aggravating her. The repeated questioning also has you believe that Broomfield is doing this for his own agenda and not for getting the points that Wournos wanted to get across to the viewers.I personally felt she was remorseful for her actions. She was doing her time and she knew where her fate lied. She didn't want to be judged anymore, she was exhausted and just wanted everything to be finalised.A shocking start to her life, you can empathise with Wournos. There's no getting away from the fact that what she did, deserved a life sentence, but death? In my opinion, definitely not. As Broomfield points out, she was clearly insane and even more so towards the end of her sentence, as I guess almost anyone would be in that situation. A tragic tale of a human life that was definitely drawn the proverbial 'short straw'.Don't forget the tissues, for the ending.

anz10 Personally I feel like this documentary ultimately raised more than questions than it gave answers. She said felt bad for the victim's family but never clarified whether it was definitely self deafens or not. I understand that she may have just wanted to die because she could not longer take death row or she didn't want to clarify her full story because she didn't want to give people more tidbits for a film, but surely the families deserve a straight answer. I'm not sure whether Aileen was a master manipulator with a sociopath tendency to lie and keep us guessing in order to play mind games so she isn't seen as the bad guy (which keeps her fascinating) or whether she truly just wanted to die or didn't want to give the police more info for a film, hmm. When she says "I'll kill again" does she mean it?! it is not that far fetched considering she killed not 1,2 or 3 but 7 men.. and if it was self deafens, how come not one of those men overpowered her to the point of taking her gun? or something like that.. more questions?? Then again why confess to the camera it was a robbery scenario and then say to the interviewer that you just said that for the cameras?! (when she didn't know the camera is still rolling) or did she just not want to lose her new friend's sympathy?? or?..Another thing I noted was her ability to have a crazy scary mad look in her eye when she got mad, it sent chills, maybe this is what the victims saw, a crazy sociopath look before she killed them.. or was she just that mad at the justice system and everyone around her, in any case she had/developed some serious anger issues which were scary.Yes, don't get me wrong I feel very sorry her early life and the fact that she never really stood a chance at a normal life, but again a question, did she really have NO other choice than go out and prostitute again if she was THAT scared of getting attacked/raped again.. Wouldn't you be so scared/guilty about what happened with the other 6 men that you would not go the 7th time? If it was self defence could she not just shoot them in the foot? It is not entirely the police's fault that she was not caught at the 1st man, for her crime spree, in the last interview she did not fully admit her own part in it, which I found disturbing, although I do understand and can tell that she was also (faking or not) had mental problems but not to the extent that she couldn't see her own guilt in my opinion. I don't think anyone will fully understand Aileen, was she born somewhat evil and people saw it in her and treated her badly (though even that is no excuse for what she went through!!!), did evil make her this way or was it a 50/50 split? I honestly believe her background definitely influences her and it definitely reflects badly on us as a society and teaches us lessons, but not to the extent that it totally takes away free will, no, that is wrong, many people have gone through awful childhoods (maybe not many as bad as hers) but they did not kill 7 men, then again not many children end up adult hitch hiking prostitutes but still. Although this is the 1st thing I have seen on Aileen (so I may change my mind) I struggle to find as much sympathy for her as others have given her... There are too many questions raised for me to feel really sympathetic towards her, although there is definitely some sympathy for her past and that she ended up with no future. I understand her past was dreadful and the inclination to be a killer, but did she absolutely have to take that path? no less than 7 times?? especially if she was capable of such insight at times during her interviews.. Another question that came up for me are we been taken for a ride by a sociopath/narcissistic mind ?? after all serial killers are noted for that kind of thing, feeling faking, playing games, sparing their own egos by not blaming themselves too much etc .. hmm.. so many questions... Personally though, I don't believe in the death penalty, my main reason being is that it makes us almost as bad as the person who killed.. How can the person who injects the poison live with themselves? I know I couldn't, nothing could convince me 100% that I have the right to choose who lives or dies, especially since the police is not always right.

MarieGabrielle to see films like this. When the media dehumanizes a person for profit, and thanks to Nick Broomfield, we see the other side. A 13 year old girl raped and impregnated by her grandfather, who slept in the freezing Michigan forest when her family kicked her out of their house.Shame on Diane, Aileen's mother, who sits and states that Aileen loved living as a homeless person. The denial in this abusive family is rampant. I was actually angry and upset by this film.Actions have consequences. Abuse starts at home, and this entire situation escalated to the point it did because an abused woman finally lost her grip on life, she had no help, no means of support, and the state of Florida was only too pleased to step in and garner media attention during an election year.Capital punishment does not provide a deterrent (this is a scientific fact) but it does prove man's inhumanity. Thank you Mr. Broomfield for this upsetting documentary. 10/10.

BreanneB This documentary was the stupid most disturbing thing I have ever seen in my life. Nick Broomfield is totally out of his mind when he tries to fight for Aileen. There is no point to it, she was an evil person who would kill again, so she's better off dead.Dawn Botkins is just as much insane as Aileen is. She wants to be loyal to a vicious serial killer. I'm glad Aileen got exactly what she deserved. I give this movie no stars at all. It is just absolutely stupid.Hey one question too, Whatever happened to Tyria Moore?She did the right thing by helping the prosecution sent Aileen to the lethal injection table.
