Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Martha K. Baker (133) for KDHX (St. Louis) (284) on 26 Aug 2018

Chloë Sevigny does excellent work as Lizzie, whether bold or abashed. Kristen Stewart balances her as Bridget…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Russ Fischer (68) for The Playlist (3,871) on 29 Mar 2018

While [Chloe Sevigny's] work is commanding and a dedicated set of tough, engaged performances from the ensemble add life to the odd legend,…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Anthony Kaufman (83) for Screen International (2,241) on 24 Mar 2018

Lizzie is, at best, a powerful showcase for the two actors…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Bryan Bishop (118) for The Verge (432) on 17 Mar 2018

The movie is engrossing, with Sevigny delivering a fierce performance that inspires empathy in spite of — or perhaps because of — the awful…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 16 Mar 2018

Between the camerawork and the subtle performances, Lizzie could very easily have been a silent film while still telling its story as effectively…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Leslie Felperin (768) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 11 Mar 2018

Not everything is spelled out too literally, and both the screenplay and Macneill's sensitive direction leave it to the lead actors to fill…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Ben Pearson (42) for Slashfilm (971) on 02 Mar 2018

Fascinating and ferocious, Lizzie takes a legend hardened by history and blows it up from the inside, forcing the viewer to pick up the pieces…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for The Guardian (2,969) on 25 Feb 2018

[A] gripping, well-acted and sharply-written low-budget drama…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 16 Feb 2018

Lizzie isn’t a bad film, but it doesn’t accomplish all that it wants to—and all I wanted it to…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Kate Erbland (681) for Indiewire (3,631) on 11 Feb 2018

Repetition grinds Lizzie to a halt, and the film lacks anything resembling energy, cycling through the same beats until something happens only…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 06 Feb 2018

The problem is the enervated pacing and ludicrous depiction — after much fancy skipping back and forth in time — of the murders themselves…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Monica Castillo (380) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 31 Jan 2018

Unfortunately, the film never quite crosses that line into campy territory, merely teasing what a less serious treatment of Lizzie's story…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Sara Stewart (700) for New York Post (6,650) on 30 Jan 2018

I spent most of the running time waiting for Lizzie (Chloë Sevigny) to grab the hatchet and wrap things up already…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Jason Gorber (520) for Dork Shelf (109) on 28 Jan 2018

We're treated to some fine moments between Lizze and Bridget, a bombastic murder sequence that stands above all else, and the rest a jumble…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for Variety (12,700) on 26 Jan 2018

It’s a simple story made to rouse modern hearts, and the performances and cinematography are so good, the film nearly pulls off the trick…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Jan 2018

[An] unconvincing, oppressively somber take on the Lizzie Borden story…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Matt Goldberg (248) for Collider (1,032) on 25 Jan 2018

The movie occasionally flirts with interesting ideas regarding the power of women in society, but it never goes far enough to leave a lasting…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for Bloody Disgusting (327) on 22 Jan 2018

Lizzie has the audience primed for her to deliver 40 whacks…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Scott Menzel (120) for We Live Entertainment (357) on 22 Jan 2018
