	Media	Author	Review
		Allison Keene The Hollywood Reporter	"When it all was said and done, it was in fact quite creepy fun."
		Brian Lowry Variety	"Oddly constructed, Lifetime’s latest attempt to produce TV movies with more edge isn’t exactly razor-sharp, but strictly based on its camp factor, 'Lizzie' should get the job done."
		Lori Rackl Chicago Sun-Times	"Christina Ricci does a haunting turn as notorious hatchet swinger Lizzie Borden. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

		Matt Roush TV Guide	"An utterly pedestrian docudrama that never lives up to its campy billing."
