Alice, Darling

2022 · 90 min

A quietly suffocating and tense watch that burrows into anxiety and control, anchored by a raw central performance and a slow, painful unravelling.

Tagline: Sometimes the hardest thing to see is the truth.
Overview: Pushed to the breaking point by Simon, her psychologically abusive boyfriend, Alice becomes an unwitting participant in an intervention staged by her two closest friends while on vacation. As she rediscovers the essence of herself and gains some much-needed perspective, she slowly starts to fray the cords of codependency that bind her. However, Simon's vengeance is as inevitable as it is shattering, and once unleashed, it tests her strength, her courage, and the bonds of deep-rooted friendships.
How it feels: Tense, dark, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Isolation, friendship, trauma, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
