Metacritic reviews

It's a lovely, terrifying sight.

Miraculous photography.

Your attention is rewarded by a film of surprising depth and a few deep surprises.

Heartfelt and passionate and brave in what it attempts to explore.

With its intriguing relationships and sacrificial acts, Alice is a good alternative to happily-ever-after fluff.

The sheer neurotic intensity of Techine's characters--characteristically stretching both backward and forward in time, as in a Faulkner novel--holds one throughout, as does Techine's masterful direction and many of the other performances.

Thrives on vivid incidentals and telling details.

If you like your substance short on style, or just want a change of pace from "X-Men," this is the film for you.

A mess, but a fascinating one.

Eventually becomes tedious.
