Loved it! Even though I knew the story, i enjoyed it immensely. Liked the directing style, and it was well cast.
The respect for Lizzie means that film almost denies drama, rendering some moments almost inert. 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.
[An] unconvincing, oppressively somber take on the Lizzie Borden story.
[A] gripping, well-acted and sharply-written low-budget drama.
