Alice

About This Movie

Alice (2022) is a gritty blend of drama and thriller that really digs into the psyche of its main character. It’s set against the backdrop of a rural Georgia plantation, which creates this heavy, oppressive atmosphere that suffocates Alice. The tension ramps up quickly, especially during her violent confrontation with the plantation owner, Paul. Once she escapes, the surreal shock of stepping into 1973 hits hard. It’s a jarring transition that makes you reconsider everything about her past. The performances are pretty raw and emotional, pulling you into Alice's struggle for freedom. There’s a unique blend of historical context and psychological depth that’s not often explored in films like this. Those practical effects, too, ground the experience in a way that feels almost haunting.
