The Lizzie Borden story has always been eerily fascinating and I love Ricci's work so I thoroughly enjoyed watching her in this. In fact, well done to all of the actors in this show.
However, shame that the director chose to ruin such a stellar cast and a compelling story which needs the viewer to follow it unblinkingly. Because I found it painful to watch, and that stressed me out for missing any important split second scenes. Can anyone tell me how they can watch such constant shaky-cam effects without getting cataracts? It's ridiculous. I thought bloodline was bad enough but it's worse here! A limited few seconds of effects here and there is fine but, blimey, not every single second from start to finish!
The music was okay, although rocking about cars and things was sort of absurd. Overall, I did think the soundtrack created a good atmosphere, except when it didn't quieten down when people were speaking.
Such a great story, but with so many fine details and clues which need the viewer glued to the screen, what a crying shame for unnecessary effects which make you miss important scenes. It would have been full marks from me if not for the director messing with what isn't broken.
