The S This version is embarrassing to even watch. It’s not Ricci’s fault…the acting is Ok, it’s just that the music is absolutely horrible. I mean just totally insufferable. Whoever was hired to do the music and ruined this production should be run out of Hollywood for good. It’s that bad. All in, the 70s version of the story in the made-for-tv version with Elizabeth Montgomery is way, way better than this one. Imagine that…they did a better job telling the story back in the 70s and this version can’t hold a candle to it. Maybe that says something about remakes. As it stands, this version is unwatchable due to the music which was bad enough when it came out but has not aged well since. Enough with the remakes already. This story has been told 100 times and none so well as the earliest versions. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Giorgio G After her excellent flawless performance in this movie, the miniseries tops it all up, coming to an unexpected, but well thought of end; naturally after many more gruesome murders. I loved the movie as well as the miniseries, especially as I consider her acting in this role one the best of her career. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review steve d A great version with strong preformances and some interesting theories. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jorge g Tells the fascinating story of Lizzie Borden. Ricci does an adequate job but looks miscast for the role (considering the real Borden's looks and demeanour). Duvall on the other hand is excellent. There are definitely cons, like the horribly out of place 21st century music, or the repetitive clips of axe-swinging, but overall it's a quite watchable film with significant historical accuracy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Well made and pretty authentic, but the music was an odd choice. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the writing is pretty good, and the costumes and aesthetic are incredible. They completely removed Lizzie's uncle from the narrative. My major gripe with it is the music. Their music choice is odd. They ise all these rock n roll songs and it just doesnt fit.
