Alice

About This Movie

Alice (2012) is one of those films that lingers in the shadows, exploring the bleak corners of domestic life. You get a sense of malaise right from the start, with Alice’s emotional detachment setting a heavy tone. It’s not so much about action but rather the slow burn of her numbness impacting her family, especially Yigal's growing frustration. The performances have this rawness, especially with the dynamics between Alice and Yigal, which feels almost painfully real. The pacing might be off for some, but it amplifies the heavy atmosphere, making the viewer sit with the discomfort. It’s definitely a character-driven piece, and you can’t help but reflect on the weight of human connection—or the lack thereof.

Alice (2012) is relatively obscure, making it a hidden treasure for collectors. It has seen limited releases, often slipping under the radar of mainstream collectors but piquing interest due to its unique tone and themes. Scarcity can vary, especially depending on format, with the DVD being more readily available than a potential Blu-ray release. Collectors often find value in its emotional depth and the resonant performances, which set it apart in a crowded field of narratives.
