Viewing Notes

Via Netflix

The “true” story of Lizzie Borden, a young woman tried and acquitted in the 1892 murders of her father and stepmother. A lifetime film that’s very much not Lifetime like at all. A great looking film with a good cast and a decent enough script. Does my high score have a lot to do with Christina Ricci portraying Lizzie? Probably. I enjoyed this one a lot and yes I’m biased.
