Still, Ricci does a great job of portraying a woman trapped who has either cracked from the pressure or will crack, and showing the way things played out that lead to the disturbing murders double-homicide in the house, as well as the oddness of the accounts and what could have happened. Though it might be seen as someone wanting more, the hints of penny-pinching to an extreme, as well as her father and stepmother's actions, also can be seen in a slightly dark light as well.
It's still interesting to see her and the dramatization of her life at this point, showing Lizzie to be opportunistic and deceitful when it comes to her family, and especially with some of the things she wants versus what her family has or what others have in their town. Buzzfeed Unsolved really ruined it for me. While it starts with the murders, and goes back to show the tension in the house before the murders. While the cast in it seems to be carried mostly by Christina Ricci as Lizzie.
I feel like this should've been a movie before this, or if it was, that maybe it should be better known.
