Critic Reviews of "Lizzie Borden Took an Ax"
New York Daily NewsJanuary 27, 2014The 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.
Los Angeles TimesJanuary 27, 2014The 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.
St. Louis Post-DispatchJanuary 27, 2014It'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.
NewsdayJanuary 24, 2014Lizzie Borden takes an ax to many assumptions -- including the one that Lifetime movies aren't worth watching.
New York PostJanuary 21, 2014Lizzie comes across more as a whiny, moody teen than a psychotic murderess, and Ricci is much-too-attractive to play the dowdy, crazy-eyed Lizzie familiar from those faded black-and-white photos (just sayin').
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 20, 2014Christina Ricci does a haunting turn as notorious hatchet swinger Lizzie Borden.
PopMattersMay 05, 2014Lifetime'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.
Movie ChambersMay 04, 2014Included 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.
Showbiz JunkiesApril 08, 2014There'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.
Zap2it.comJanuary 27, 2014Lifetime 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.
HitFixJanuary 27, 2014The 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.
