Her legend is written in blood.
LIZZIE is a psychological thriller based on the infamous 1892 axe murder of the Borden family in Massachusetts. As an unmarried woman of 32, and a social outcast, Lizzie lives a claustrophobic life under her fathers cold and domineering control. When Bridget Sullivan, a young maid, comes to work for the family, Lizzie finds a sympathetic, kindred spirit, and a chance intimacy that blossoms into a wicked plan, and a dark, unsettling end. Focusing on the period leading up to the murders and their immediate aftermath LIZZIE reveals the many layers of the strange, fragile woman who stood accused of a brutal crime.
"Chloe Sevigny shines in plum role as Lizzie Borden of ‘forty whacks’ notoriety, posited here as triggered by thwarted romance with Irish maidservant Kristen Stewart." The Guardian
