Alice Was My Name (2021) offers a gritty glimpse into the life of a struggling actress, played by Melissa Di Cianni, who navigates the murky waters of ambition and desperation. The film’s pacing, a slow burn, allows the tension to build gradually, creating an atmosphere thick with unease. The cinematography is striking, highlighting the contrast between Alice’s dreams and the stark reality she faces. The themes of exploitation in the arts and the price of fame resonate throughout, making the viewer question the true cost of ambition. The performances are raw, especially Di Cianni’s, capturing the nuances of a character caught in a web of false promises. It's a distinctive take on the thriller genre that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
