Massachusetts, 1892. An unmarried woman of 32 and a social outcast, Lizzie lives a claustrophobic life under her father's cold and domineering control. When Bridget Sullivan, a young maid, comes to work for the family, Lizzie finds a sympathetic, kindred spirit, and a secret intimacy soon blossoms into a wicked plan.

Was not feeling this at all. The only interesting part was the literal crime sequence.
Also feel like I should bring this up, but Lizzie Borden as the next villain in the Monster Netflix series is going to be extremely boring. I’d rather watch Pearl all day.
