Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore Review

Review of Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) by screenqueeen: 👍 5/5

Watching Alice and her son is just the most heartwarming thing. Keitel's role is his most transparent as the wolf in sheep's clothing, challenging his outward "nice guy" (all connotations of the term here) role.

Brutally honest but still manages to outline the bottomless well of a single mother's optimistic persistence and determination of resuming the chase for her dream instead of subscribing to a downward spiral of depression and false reverence for an abusive paternal presence.
