Cold-blooded murder or self-defense
The core question at the center of this crime is based on what kind of person Elize is. As a result, it has people quite divided. Most people either liked or loathed the docuseries and will, undoubtedly, feel the same way about this feature film.
If you believe she was a cold-blooded murderer going after his money, you won’t like Elize: Shadows of a Woman.
However, if you believe she feared for her own safety and was scared of losing her daughter, then you’ll probably like this one. I mean, the title of “Shadows of a Woman” does refer to how she went from being poor, but full of life, to being a shadow of her former self, as her husband drained her of happiness.
That’s the core message of this movie, which doesn’t seem far-fetched when looking at the facts. Whether that can excuse murder is an entirely different thing. Money is power, and as such, he had a lot of power, and she only had what he allowed her to have.
