Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Sherilyn Connelly (422) for SF Weekly (560) on 19 Sep 2018

It's hard not to wonder why we're still expected to care…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 19 Sep 2018

The resulting movie is atmospheric and compelling, and it makes an empathetic case for Borden as an intelligent, passionate woman so stifled…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Rick Bentley (466) for Tribune News Service (1,102) on 19 Sep 2018

Lizzie shows that even a project based on the familiar can be a cut above the rest…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 19 Sep 2018

We wait in vain for Lizzie to do something truly surprising with this oft-told tale. But it's worth a look if only for the two central performances…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2018

Adds a new twist to the Borden murder mystery, as well as another fine portrayal of its presumed guilty but acquitted perpetrator; but that's…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Oliver Jones (215) for Observer (1,042) on 19 Sep 2018

There is a cool detachment to the presentation of the story that, while perhaps fitting for a movie about a crime so carefully calculated it…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 19 Sep 2018

Moments that should take seconds carry on for what feels like years, making the eventual slide to the ax murders painfully boring…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 19 Sep 2018

Straightforwardness, really driven home by the romance, robs these events of their most haunting, opaque quality…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 18 Sep 2018

While [Sevigny's] performance is subtle, the story is anything but, hewing for the most part to known facts but filling them in with speculative…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 18 Sep 2018

The sexual backstory is a new twist, one the filmmakers handle with less finesse than is healthy for the argument that they ultimately make…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Glenn Heath Jr. (311) for San Diego CityBeat (181) on 18 Sep 2018

Both Sevigny and Stewart beautifully tap into the conflicting anger and compassion felt by deeply oppressed characters…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 18 Sep 2018

Despite its gory denouement, Lizzie's emotional bloodlessness leaves us hanging…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Kiko Martinez (245) for San Antonio Current (241) on 18 Sep 2018

Lizzie is more memorable for its foreboding atmosphere and believable performances by the film's top-billed actresses, Chloë Sevigny and Kristen…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for The ARTery (128) on 18 Sep 2018

It's a one-note movie and that note is room tone…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Hope Madden (89) for Columbus Underground (89) on 18 Sep 2018

The struggle facing a single woman-economic and otherwise-is handled throughout this film with a desperate grace that elevates most scenes…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Rob Burgess (1) for NUVO Newsweekly (453) on 18 Sep 2018

This update of a well-worn tale, made for a new audience, is certainly worth watching…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 18 Sep 2018

As for that murder scene, it's undoubtedly the part of the film that will get people talking the most…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Andy Crump (279) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 17 Sep 2018

There's no reason a movie where these two play star-crossed lovers should be this dull…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Natalia Winkelman (145) for The Daily Beast (380) on 16 Sep 2018

As a whole, the movie may not be perfect-its lifelessness can feel, at moments, as oppressive as the 19th century patriarchy-but don't worry…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Jordan Raup (239) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 13 Sep 2018

Rather than focusing on Lizzie as a figure out of a horror movie or creepy folk tale, she is portrayed as a woman who found liberty only through…
