In the taut thriller ALICE, DARLING, Oscar® nominee Anna Kendrick ("Up in the Air") stars as a woman pushed to the breaking point by her psychologically abusive boyfriend, Simon. While on vacation with two close girlfriends, Alice rediscovers the essence of herself and gains some much-needed perspective. Slowly, she starts to fray the cords of codependency that bind her. But Simon's vengeance is as inevitable as it is shattering -- and, once unleashed, it tests Alice's strength, her courage, and the bonds of her deep-rooted friendships.

Anna Kendrick's excellent work in taking on the project and portraying the consequences of these types of bonds on the body and mind. A moving film that makes us reflect. [Full Review in Spanish]

The marketing to this was so disingenuous it will leave a sour taste. This aint a thriller or a suspense movie. Its about a woman who is in a toxic relationship. And I would say when youre told this, it doesnt feel earned. And the ending is just so plain. Not worth a theater trip, maybe a lazy afternoon watch but maybe not even that.

This movie triggered me in both a bad and good way. I was in a relationship with a narcissistic woman going through the same emotional breakdowns while trying to keep an outward look of strength. The love bombing followed by the the removal of my self esteem and of course the complete lack of any resemblance of privacy. I finally did put my foot down and told her goodbye and kept it at goodbye when she kept coming back from time to time. This movie made me remember all of that. semi spoiler I was so relieved and happy at the end that she was finally able to remove herself with the help of her friends and begin to rebuild herself. This should be required viewing for anyone who has been in a narcissistic and controlling relationship past or present.

The idea of this movie is better than the movie itself. It’s essentially a psychological thriller with too few thrills. Anna Kendrick was still great though and it’s not as if it completely lacks creativity.

So disappointing - they could have explored this topic deeper. Neither sad nor suspenseful enough. No character development - we knew nothing about the main characters, which would have established motivation and relationship of the couple. The odd missing girl went unresolved.

A beautiful and heart wrenching story that felt so true to life and the experiences of relationships and friendships in womanhood.
