Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online While she doesn't really humanize Alice, Wiig delivers an impressive blend of awkwardness, humor and pathos that elevates the story, even though it isn't enough to mask its flaws. Rated: D+ Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Wiig's depiction of a woman whose stories are apt to end with the declaration "then I went off my meds" is as disquieting as it is scarily accurate. Rated: 3/5 Apr 28, 2016 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Whatever the state of your mental health, you'll want to follow Alice down the rabbit hole. Rated: 4/5 Mar 27, 2016 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson It's that really well planned gag or stunt that can't match the real thing because it's been too manufactured to where the unpredictability is taken away or feels forced. Rated: 1/5 Jun 26, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Wiig delivers a sensational performance in a film that deserves comparisons to uneasily funny titles like The King of Comedy and Being There, and perhaps like those films, it will only improve with age, reassessment, and time for clarity. Rated: 3/4 Jun 21, 2022 Full Review Olly Richards NME (New Musical Express) Ultimately, it's like Alice herself: confused by what it wants to be. Rated: 3/5 Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Bronwyn D I'm not sure who I'm more Mad at: Me, for sitting thru the Whole Thing- OR, All the Good Actors, for agreeing to participate in the movie... Even after what the Main Character does at the end, as beautiful as it was, unfortunately did not redeem the ridiculousness of this film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Darcy F This movie is brilliant. A hidden gem of a comedic masterpiece. The audience score on this is out to lunch. If you have half a brain you will love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Casey O It's a very authentic portrayal of a mental health struggle that manages to be funny at the same time. A strong commentary on our culture's relationship to mental health struggles and our willingness to be entertained/cheer on someone's downward spiral. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Steve D An aimless film with nothing to say. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Jon Z Amazing performance high art Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Alec B The ending is far too neat and tidy for a comedy that's determined to make it's audience as uncomfortable as humanly possible, but it's still worth seeing for Wiig's excellent work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
