Alice is the perfect wife and mother, living happily with her husband, Francois, and their son. When her credit cards are declined one day, Alice discovers that Francois has been living a secret life, spending money at an escort service.

Critics Consensus

If its message is somewhat undercut by an unrealistic perspective, Alice has interesting things to say about societal mores and gender roles.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

Good performances with moments in it, particularly with that strong first act...

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Piponnier is... a lanky joy to watch, all awkward, flailing limbs and expressive Bambi eyes.

Rated: 3/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

However, the story is fundamentally risible and strangely sanitised and it plays like a pretentious and po-faced version of Billie Piper's TV show Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

Rated: 2/5

Calum Cooper

Source (Scotland)

Able to balance such dramatic material a bittersweet poignancy on the freedom of life, it keeps you within its grip and leaves you on edge.

Rated: 4/5

What She Said

Alice rejects convention and may just find joy, even if it means going nuclear. Breathtaking.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Working with a small budget, an available set - her own apartment - and a generous team, Mackerras has created an intriguing and complex mix of comedy, horror and tragedy.
