Very good TV movie/mystery/crime drama, but with laughable soundtrack
My wife and I both enjoyed this movie, and she had just recently read a book on the case. The story was well-told and left open for interpretation, for most of the movie, to whether she was guilty or not. The acting was excellent and the period costumes were as well. However, whoever allowed this soundtrack to be used tried their best to ruin the whole experience. I don’t think a thriller/mystery set in 1892 should have 21st-century electric/amplified rock music inserted, especially in the first half of the movie. To have a scene or a transition of a movie set in the 1890’s interrupted by an amplified guitar and keyboards with the nauseating “Oooooo, boy!” was not only ridiculous, after a while we started laughing and wondering when the next inappropriate music would come bursting in. Overall, however, it’s a very good TV movie.
“I didn’t want to look like a killer.”
Probably like most first time viewers, I had no real knowledge of the legend of Lizzie Borden other than her relationship with an ax and two dead parents. I never even considered that she might have been found innocent of murder following a jury trial; funny how hearsay clouds one’s judgment until exposed to the real story. As Lizzie Borden, Christina Ricci does turn in an ambiguous portrayal that leads one to suspect that she had it in her to dispose of her father and stepmother. In one scene in which she bids good night to sister Emma (Clea DuVall), she has a real creepy look, and you get the idea that she was fully capable. The real Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murder charge in 1893 in a highly publicized trial, though the story here intimates that Lizzie made a confession to Emma that she really did it. Modern day theorists have come up with all kinds of speculation.Given the grim manner of the deaths of Andrew (Stephen McHattie) and Abby (Sara Botsford) Borden, and the sensationalistic DVD cover that comes with the movie, one would think the representation of the murders would be a gore fest of extreme proportion. But the film takes a much more even handed approach to the crime, even if there are a handful of flashback visions consisting of bloody violence. The oddest thing about the movie, given it’s historical placement in the late 1890’s, is the anachronistic rock soundtrack that has no real connection to the events on screen, other than to attract a youthful modern day audience. At least that’s the way I saw it, if you ax me.
