Losing Alice

Stick to Adam Sandler movies, leave the good stuff to people who understand it. This is definitely the good stuff; intense, with superb acting and directing, Losing Alice is the total package. It does give off Lynchian vibes and in the best way - it's not nonsensical and never too meandering, it's a tightly plotted and complete story. There are multiple unforgettable scenes and I know I'll be replaying them in my mind for months to come; in short, this is an amazing show.

Fantastic script and acting, fascinating story. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You just know it's not going to end well but you must keep watching. Give it a try.

Some reviewers are complaining about the spoken language. And that they have to help themselves by subtitles. Do they realise that not the whole world is speaking English ? I'm Flemish, speaking a kind of Dutch. Since our whole live we always watch a non-Dutch spoken thing by subtitles. Always ... We sometimes do understand, and speak some other languages, where under English. So please, be aware of what you criticise concerning the native language of a film or serial. It's a kind of being respectful. About 'Losing Alice' itself : we just watched the first episode. It's hard stuff. So, we wait with an final opinion until we've seen more.

I just watched the first three episodes and I can't wait for more. The acting is superb. The storyline is provocative and engaging. I'm so glad AppleTV is streaming this show. It's beautifully done and I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves. I've always loved Ayelet Zurer. She's an actress of immeasurable talent and a captivating beauty. I recently watched her play Milada Horáková in the film Milada. Her performance in this movie blew me away.

This series was compelling, even though it confused and disturbed me at times. One troubling feature was the relationship between David and his mother. What the hell was that all about? Every adult in this film is messed up. But it was still intriguing enough, that I binged all of it in a day and a half.
