Alice is the perfect wife and mother, living happily with her husband, Francois, and their son. When her credit cards are declined one day, Alice discovers that Francois has been living a secret life, spending money at an escort service.

Critics Consensus

If its message is somewhat undercut by an unrealistic perspective, Alice has interesting things to say about societal mores and gender roles.

Good performances with moments in it, particularly with that strong first act...

Piponnier is... a lanky joy to watch, all awkward, flailing limbs and expressive Bambi eyes.

2/5

However, the story is fundamentally risible and strangely sanitised and it plays like a pretentious and po-faced version of Billie Piper's TV show Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

4/5

...Alice offers a compelling story of a single mother who embarks on a career as an escort girl to pay the bills. It’s the kind of story which could play crassly in the wrong hands, but Mackerras brings something new to the party...

4/5

Able to balance such dramatic material a bittersweet poignancy on the freedom of life, it keeps you within its grip and leaves you on edge.

Alice rejects convention and may just find joy, even if it means going nuclear. Breathtaking.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fraco, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.
