Did Lizzie Borden brutally murder her parents with a hatchet? That’s certainly the most popular theory—even O.J. didn’t get a schoolyard rhyme about being the obvious killer—and that’s the one first-time feature writer Bryce Kass and director Craig William Macneill (The Boy) go with for Lizzie. Chloë Sevigny stars in the title role, here playing a Borden that gets off on more than just the murder charge: she’s also having a secret romance with her live-in maid and apparent co-conspirator (Kristen Stewart). This dramatic period Thoroughbreds hits theaters September 14.
