“Lizzie” (*1/2 out of four) was a lifeless retelling of the true story of Lizzie Borden (Chloe Sevigny) who was accused and subsequently acquitted of murdering her father (Jamey Sheridan) and stepmom (Fiona Shaw) in 1892 Massachusetts. Not even the ax murders and an erotic love scene between Borden and her housekeeper (Kristen Stewart) can keep this from being dull. Performances are pretty flat and one-note as well. Watch “So I Married An Axe Murderer” instead.
