Lizzie

“The movie is engrossing, with Sevigny delivering a fierce performance that inspires empathy in spite of — or perhaps because of — the awful things the audience knows Lizzie will eventually do.”~Bryan Bishop, The Verge

Aroview: Biographical thriller with Chloe Sevigny excellent as Lizzie Borden, the woman who was accused and acquitted of the murders of her father and stepmother in Massachusetts in the 1890's. Explores the theory that Borden was driven to murder after developing a lesbian relationship with a servant in her household, who she discovered was being sexually abused by her father. A well-acted and gripping drama.
