Lizzie

HER LEGEND IS WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

Another take on the grisly 1892 axe murders of the Bordens in Massachusetts (which were most likely committed by their daughter Lizzie), this one inspired by a theory presented by Ed McBain in the 1980s. The film makes the Irish housekeeper Bridget Sullivan Lizzie’s lover and partner in crime. Chloë Sevigny is fine as a young woman whose rage keeps building, but the filmmakers fail in making us care about these two characters. Slow-moving and somber; the murders are depicted in chilling detail.

2018-U.S. 105 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Craig William Macneill. Cast: Chloë Sevigny (Lizzie Borden), Kristen Stewart (Bridget Sullivan), Jamey Sheridan (Andrew Borden), Fiona Shaw, Denis O’Hare, Kim Dickens.

Trivia: Co-produced by Sevigny.
