Lifetime has a knack for attracting top-tier talent for what often ends up being silly little movies, but Lizzie Borden seemed different -- everyone was having a lot of fun without getting too over-the-top campy. Full Review

Rating: A- -- Lizzie Borden takes an ax to many assumptions -- including the one that Lifetime movies aren't worth watching. Full Review

Rating: C -- Included are the trial and all the trimmings. What's missing is the horror of the event. Except for a few shots of dear old daddy's caved-in face, there's not much gore, even for a TV movie. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Brutal murders, courtroom drama in historical drama. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- It's slow and heavy-handed, tedious almost throughout. An average episode of Oxygen's Snapped isn't this dull, and has more interesting things to say about women who kill. Full Review

Rating: 3/10 -- Lifetime's made-for-TV movie Lizzie Borden Took an Axe covers the events of the murder and ensuing trial, but doesn't really get any deeper into the crime than the schoolyard chant does. Full Review

Rating: B -- There's a too-quick and convenient wrap-up to the film, but that's the only real sour note Lizzie Borden Took an Ax hits. Full Review

Product Description:

Inspired by the gruesome historical crime that shocked the nation, the Lifetime Original Movie LIZZIE BORDEN TOOK AN AX stars Christine Ricci as the eponymous, outwardly demure Sunday School teacher from Boston, Massachusetts who, in 1892, became the prime suspect in her own parents' horrific murder. As young Lizzie's case goes to trial, her lawyer Andrew Jennings (Billy Campbell) fights for her freedom amidst a sea of scandal. Clea Duvall, Stephen McHattie, and Gregg Henry co-star.
