Macneill and Kass weaken their message of female empowerment by pushing it past politics to pulp fiction.
It could use an operatic high note, or even a truly deep dark night of the soul, some oscillation in the levels. But the film reflects the evenness with which Sevigny portrays the unflappable Lizzie, cool as a cucumber all the way to court.
The movie's handsome appearance is complemented by assured performances.
Lizzie is at war with its own impulses. You can sense there's a sexy overheated melodrama in there, yearning to burst free of its corset.
Putting Kristen Stewart and Chloë Sevigny on screen together was a wonderful choice-one that doesn't deserve to be drowned in a torrent of confusing, implausible, and just downright dull ones.
As lurid as the tale is, sitting through Macneill's somber movie version is like watching ye olde paint dry.
