For September: 10 Movie and TV Picks10 of 10
Lizzie | In U.S.Theaters on Friday, Sept. 14
Having caught this at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, I can recommend this brooding psychological thriller starring Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart. Based on the shocking Borden family murders in 1892 Massachusetts, the movie centers on daughter Lizzie (Sevigny) and live-in maid Bridget (Stewart). As the relationship between the two young women grows, tension builds in the household, leading to tragedy. The first half of the movie is like a gothic horror as the creeping dread of what is to come hangs over the actions of the family, and the ice-cold performances (Sevigny's especially) are of particular note. — Michael
