Alice

Review: Woody Allen is no stranger to using fantasy elements in his films and certainly does in this 'A Christmas Carol'-esque self exploration film about Alice, a wealthy housewife who begins to question her marriage to her husband. I didn't connect to this film as I often do with Allen works. I often felt Mia Farrow was borderline annoying playing the lead in Alice. With dialog as important and compelling as it is in Allen films, it was aggravating when Farrow would whisper her lines as she often did in what I felt was over playing the meekness in Alice. This is an interesting character study and I enjoyed it, but it didn't have the same biting dialog that I love about so many of Allen's films.
Rating: 3/5
