Rating: 2/5 -- The movie itself apparently isn't sure the murders themselves are lurid enough. So it adds a few things that didn't happen, plus some 21st-century music. 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: 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: C -- The lack of focus, and a protagonist who seemingly can't decide which movie she's in, makes this Lifetime movie a slick but unsatisfying swing and a miss. Full Review

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: 3/4 -- Christina Ricci does a haunting turn as notorious hatchet swinger Lizzie Borden.
Chicago Sun-Times

The movie ends on such a note as to cause the audience to wonder how long it will take before "A," of Pretty Little Liars fame, starts leaving Lizzie Borden an incriminating text or two. 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.
