Right, well the 2022 drama "Alice" starts off with 'inspired by true events'. Yeah, sure. I would like to know in what alternate part of the multiverse did writer and director Krystin Ver Linden believe that this was an actual thing.
Sure, if it was the slavery part with the white plantation owner part that was based on true events, then I could buy into it. But if it was the actual story here, then no. Just no.
Well, I will give writer and director Krystin Ver Linden points for creativity, despite the fact that the whole concept of the storyline was just ludicrous beyond belief. But yeah, the movie made for adequate entertainment, if you could get past how downright stupid the storyline concept actually is.
Of all the people participating in this movie, I was familiar with only two actors, and that was Jonny Lee Miller and Gaius Charles. It should be said, though, that the acting performances in the movie were good, despite of the storyline being quite far out there.
"Alice" is not a movie that made a particular huge splash upon its arrival, nor is it a movie that I will taking along with me and think about come next week. This is the type of movie that you watch once, should you happen to stumble upon the movie, and then never return to watch it a second time. Then again, the storyline just doesn't have enough proper contents to it to support more than just a single viewing.
This 2022 movie is a strange hybrid between an archetypical slavery story mixed with Blaxploitation. A very strange combination actually, if you ask me.
My rating of "Alice" lands on a four out of ten stars.
