LIZZIE – Another version of the Lizzie Borden story, and not a very good one. I have seen many documentaries and films about Lizzie, and none have portrayed Lizzie as a lesbian who is in love with her maid, her maid being sexually abused by Lizzie’s father or the maid being complicit in the murder. (I guess they needed some juicy scenes for Kristen Stewart who plays the maid). It’s long been suspected Lizzie committed the crimes in the nude. In this version, she murders her step-mother this way and then enlists the maid to murder her father in the nude as well. When the maid is unable to complete the task, Lizzie steps in (fully clothed) and finishes the job. Preposterous. In addition to these ludicrous liberties, the piece is slow and doesn’t answer any pertinent questions. You guessed it….skip it! Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
