Lizzie forces audiences to take a new look at a widely known true-crime story -- even if the well-acted end result is never quite as gripping as it could be.

Sevigny is compelling, Stewart less so, and there are few surprises. A bit TV. But not in the good way. Dec 14, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Performances are the saving grace of a film which, while certainly not lacking in dramatic heft, seems more preoccupied with sexing up the scandal than getting to grips with those at the centre of it. Dec 14, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The element of horror is treated circumspectly, almost dispassionately, as if to douse its mythic element in as much cold reality as possible. Dec 13, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

For all the horror of her situation, Lizzie needed some larger motivation to wield her axe. Lizzie dramatically provides it. Sep 27, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Unfortunately, despite a couple of solid performances, the film doesn't break any new ground or offer any particular illumination on these grisly crimes. Sep 27, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The movie tackles [Lizzie's sexual awakening] much more head-on -- and explicitly -- than other depictions of Borden's life, including a recent Lifetime movie and series, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles. Sep 24, 2018 | Full Review…

Lizzie puts a Sapphic spin on the Borden saga that ends up being far more a family drama and love story as opposed to a horror movie or thriller as it is billed on Shudder. Apr 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

While not the gruesome horror that many fans...might have hoped for, the restraint and respect for the finer details and speculations of Lizzie's case are to be admired Apr 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Lizzie is heavily influenced by old-school horror flicks, with the soundtrack emphasizing the creaks and groans of the ancient house and the soft glow of a candle turning a hallway into a mass of imposing shadows. Apr 9, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
