What are critics saying?

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

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

Village Voice by Dennis Lim

Thrives on vivid incidentals and telling details.

San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann

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

L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

Miraculous photography.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard

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

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum

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.

Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan

Eventually becomes tedious.

Dallas Observer by Luke Y. Thompson

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

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington

It's a lovely, terrifying sight.

Miami Herald by Rene Rodriguez

A mess, but a fascinating one.
