Alice (Keke Palmer) yearns for freedom as an enslaved person on a rural Georgia plantation under its brutal and disturbed owner Paul (Jonny Lee Miller). After a violent clash with Paul, she flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon discovering the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and the promise of Black liberation. Inspired by true accounts, Alice is a modern empowerment fable tracing Alice's journey through the post-Civil Rights Era American South.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Alice's well-intentioned attempt to reckon with racism sadly misses the mark on multiple levels, although Keke Palmer's performance remains a consistent bright spot.

Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's kick-ass and kind of funny, but real serious. Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Odie Henderson RogerEbert.com Alice is so skittishly afraid to offend that it borders on parody. Rated: 0/4 Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times While Ver Linden’s ideas never quite coalesce, “Alice” is at least consistently challenging. Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily For all its flaws, though, Alice is consistently interesting, and Palmer has a lot to do with that, carrying the film with grace and simplicity in a part that could conceivably finished another actor altogether. Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews Alice‘s scattershot screenplay causes storytelling stumbles here or there, but Keke Palmer’s persistently persuasive lead performance (somewhat) steadies the ship. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies A movie chock-full of squandered potential. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 16, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
