After a year full of films about domestic abuse from male directors, it's nice to have a woman tell a story solely focused on the victim. Its nice to have a story that doesn't let the abuser apologize. It is nice to have a story that isn't focused on revenge, but on…
Benjamin WiebeJan 20, 2023this might honestly be the best use of casting anna kendrick i’ve ever seen, and i say that as someone who absolutely loves her in nearly everything i’ve seen her in. it’s perfect not because it’s a quintessential role for her, but because it plays both into and against the…

beautifully done film made with so much care and respect, anna did an amazing performance that left me speechless at every moment. in times like these where most depictions of abuse leave me at the end of the film feeling very heavy and hopeless this movie gave me an…

lucyFeb 3, 2023Find yourself a best friend that has a beautiful country lake house for you to go and relax away from your abusive boyfriend. Mmmmm so dreamy. Great dramatic work from Anna Kendrick, she’s very reserved and quiet in her performance, the film is basically a closeup of her…

Doesn’t analyze its ideas nearly as much as it thinks it does, but the few tense scenes really elevate the rest. Also VERY practical wood-chopping tutorial.
Alex McGuireFeb 5, 2023Great performances all around with a brilliantly heartbreaking performance by Anna Kendrick, but the script needed more work. The movie just doesn't do enough.

- Abigail Barretto likedAlice, Darling
This movie is a great example of how emotionally abusive relationships can make you feel isolated, drained, and like you're never enough. I’m particularly impressed with Anna's acting. She really captured the emotional complexity of her character.
Elizabeth is "meh" onAlice, DarlingIt was ok but I would never watch again
grace lovedAlice, Darlingi’ve seen someone go through this. it’s horrible & exhausting everyday. Kendrick gave an incredible performance. the scariest part was knowing while she was looking for that girl she was thinking of herself, lost & possibly dead. the only unreal part was that she just walked away
- Soph lovedAlice, Darling
Everyone has different lived experiences, my connection made me feel close to the film. The hypervigilance depiction and tells like obsessive behaviors, hair pulling, shutting people out felt done well. Flashbacks too. “what are the chances I don't come out on the other side?”🫂
AMock is "meh" onAlice, Darling6/10 The story had a lot of potential. I thought the subplot could’ve been used more/in a different way. Anna Kendrick gave a fantastic performance though. I really liked the cinematography and the way it was used to visually bring the story along. Overall could’ve been better
Kris likedAlice, DarlingI think the dialogue was somewhat cheap. The overall storyline was slow, but I think they made a very good point with a different perspective than they usually show with an abusive relationship. It’s more of through a friendship lens. The execution was poor overall
- Shiv Reddy likedAlice, Darling
A story about emotional abuse (can be triggering for those that have dealt with it) and a great performance from Anna. Story didn’t have enough depth for me and the movie felt short on content but dragged out to meet the 90 min mark using b-roll.
Gabriela Lopez lovedAlice, Darlingi wouldn’t call this a thriller in any way, but i thought the directing and acting was done really well. every little detail gave you insight into alice’s state of mind. a sad watch with a very realistic portrayal of an abusive relationship.
Jai_Anomaly lovedAlice, DarlingWhat scared me the most was the fact that my ex was that controlling, I mean the whole time I was just imagining myself in Alice’s shoes. Related to her in a sense which made it much more intriguing.

Nighy feels like she’s finding her way in a new format. She’s got the hard part down, pulling off effective emotional beats even when the story seems to be operating on screenwriting 101 paradigms. All that remains is to find a script that’s up to the rest of it.

The larger problem is that there’s not enough here — in story terms or in the filmmaking — to sustain even the movie’s 90 minutes.

Ultimately, it’s about the bonds of sisterhood and how those who know you best and love you most can help you heal, or at least start you on that path. Its vagueness serves almost as a Rorschach test. How effective it is as a drama may depend on your perspective.
