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.

Mr. Hollywood

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Mr. X

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.

Alice, Darling does so much right that it is acutely painful when it goes wrong.

It’s a believable portrayal of the impact of gaslighting and brainwashing: Alice’s conviction that she’s at fault will resonate with many audiences.

…a small but well-composed little film that brings a serious issue (gaslighting) into the sunlight with genuine care…

The Hindu

Alice, Darling is anchored by Kendrick’s performance — her practising how to broach the topic of the all-girls trip to Simon, that painful hair pulling and in a million other ways, she reveals Alice’s fear of this man who claims to love her

Rebecca Johnson

Film Focus Online

With tremendous performances and important exploration into the impact abuse can have, Alice, Darling is worth the watch. However, it doesn't quite do enough for the story being told, which deserves a more poignant message.

Rated: 3/5
