Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 4/4 (Great)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 4/4 (Great). Theron turns a character that might have been grating into something iconic. Her bitterness is so ridiculously extreme that you even root for her a little.
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). For a film which is basically nothing but a horrible person being horrible, it's not bad. There's a lot of humor, and a lot of cringe-inducing; the scales tip in favor of humor most of the time.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.7/4 (Good)
