In light of genuine occasions that happened in 1892, this film pursues a young lady named Lizzie who achieves the age of 32 year-old and she is as yet single. She remains with her dad who controls about everything in her life. At some point, a youthful cleaning specialist named Bridget comes to work inside their home. Things flip around when Lizzie winds up in an association with the house keeper and a progression of energizing occasions start to occur.
Unfortunately, despite a couple of solid performances, the film doesn't break any new ground or offer any particular illumination on these grisly crimes.
In a moment where women and femmes are, in unprecedented numbers, demanding that their abusers be held accountable, this period drama is not without comfort.
Casting LIZZIE - a telling of how the Borden Ax Murders might have gone - as a gothic horror film makes a certain amount of sense. If only they had given the thing a pulse.
The team has come up with a psychologically realistic but polite work that, like the corsets around Lizzie's torso, feels too buttoned-down and joyless for its own good.
Macneill displays a want to serve understanding and compassion to this difficult character, championing study over sensationalization.

When the time comes for the famous axe and whacks, Lizzie reveals itself as more Greek tragedy than murder mystery - a depiction of feminine ferocity and ingenuity in the face of injustice.
