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. April 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 April 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. April 9, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

To be certain, Lizzie has been made with care and intelligence but it is so devoid of passion or energy that it feels more like a diorama than a drama. February 20, 2019 | Full Review…

Releasing into an environment where its story feels both relevant and very of its time, Lizzie is a curious mix of genres, and certainly more graphic than you'd expect, but never coheres into a compelling whole. January 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
