In 2014 , DuVall starred as Emma Borden , sister of Lizzie Borden ( played by Christina Ricci ) , in the Lifetime television film , '' Lizzie Borden Took an Ax '' . She then reprised the role for the limited series '' The Lizzie Borden Chronicles '' ( 2015 ) . The latter received mixed reviews , but critics praised the performances of Ricci and DuVall . Writing for '' The Hollywood Reporter '' , Keith Uhlich said the actresses " have a delectable rapport not too far removed from Bette Davis and Joan Crawford at their hag-horror peak in '' What Ever Happened to Baby Jane ? '' " In 2016 , DuVall made her feature directorial debut with the comedy-drama '' The Intervention '' , which she also wrote , starred in , and produced . The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and was later acquired by Paramount Pictures . '' The Intervention '' received positive reviews ; Andy Webster of '' The New York Times '' noted that " DuVall juggles the emotional dynamics with fluid editing and light comic touches " . The same year , she starred in the independent features '' Zen Dogs '' and '' Heaven 's Floor '' , and guest starred on AMC 's '' Better Call Saul ''
