Lizzie is sustained by Sevigny and Stewart's portrayals, antiheroes of a story of the past. [Full review in Spanish]

In a moment where women and femmes are, in unprecedented numbers, demanding that their abusers be held accountable, this period drama is not without comfort.

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.

Macneill displays a want to serve understanding and compassion to this difficult character, championing study over sensationalization.

Borden was a cold-blooded killer, and the handsomely crafted, at times laborious Lizzie takes a step back and examines her story in a semi-modern context.

Unfortunately, despite a couple of solid performances, the film doesn't break any new ground or offer any particular illumination on these grisly crimes.

While you wish the characters were a little more fleshed out, the light effectively traps you within that airless era.

When the time comes for the famous axe and whacks, Lizzie reveals itself as more Greek tragedy than murder mystery - a depiction of feminine ferocity and ingenuity in the face of injustice.

Casting LIZZIE - a telling of how the Borden Ax Murders might have gone - as a gothic horror film makes a certain amount of sense. If only they had given the thing a pulse.

The team has come up with a psychologically realistic but polite work that, like the corsets around Lizzie's torso, feels too buttoned-down and joyless for its own good.

For all the horror of her situation, Lizzie needed some larger motivation to wield her axe. Lizzie dramatically provides it.

It's another unfortunate case of a good concept and great acting, badly managed, resulting in a promising but, in the end, mediocre movie.
