First Reactions to Sundance 2018 Movies7 of 16
Lizzie (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
About: Based on the murders of the Bordens in 1892 Massachusetts, the movie centers on daughter Lizzie (Chloë Sevigny) and live-in maid Bridget (Kristen Stewart). As the relationship between the two young women grows, tension builds in the household, leading to tragedy.
Buzz: 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. It has already been called "sensitive and stylish”,"and the ice-cold performances, of Sevigny especially, are of particular note. Some of the audience in Sundance didn’t quite know what they were letting themselves in for, but the response has been positive, and the presence of Stewart alone should translate into a compelling prospect for moviegoers outside of Park City.
