This is a film that excels in its aims through only a few choices, as they are intelligent choices that speak volumes while doing seemingly little.

Nighy's film, like words, burrow deep into the soul and linger there far longer than actions ever could.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 5, 2024

…a small but well-composed little film that brings a serious issue (gaslighting) into the sunlight with genuine care…

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 31, 2023

Alice, Darling is anchored by Kendrick’s performance — her practising how to broach the topic of the all-girls trip to Simon, that painful hair pulling and in a million other ways, she reveals Alice’s fear of this man who claims to love her

Full Review | Aug 27, 2023

With tremendous performances and important exploration into the impact abuse can have, Alice, Darling is worth the watch. However, it doesn't quite do enough for the story being told, which deserves a more poignant message.

Anna Kendrick has played jittery women before, but her performance here is on another level altogether.

Alice, Darling is machiavellic within its overwhelming intelligence. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 18, 2023

It knocks you out, making you appreciate its rawness and its leading actress. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2023

Part of a necessary conversation, but only accomplishes so much on its own.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | May 8, 2023

What makes 'Alice, Darling' so engaging is the central theme of women supporting women, and just how powerful friendship and community can be.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 15, 2023

... At times merely functional — a public-service broadcast on how to recognise nonphysical abuse. But Alice's bond with her two best friends is well drawn, and the trio's showdown with the boyfriend has just the right touch of melodrama.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2023

Anna Kendrick gives one of her very best performances in Mary Nighy's cautious thriller about the control we allow ourselves to be put under in the name of misbegotten comfort and routine.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 16, 2023

Take out all the red herrings in this 89-minute navel gaze, and you’re left with a 90s teen soap subplot featuring wholly unlikeable characters from stem to stern.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 10, 2023

“Alice, Darling” sets out to shine an honest and earnest light on the issue of psychological and emotional abuse....Mary Nighy takes this undeniable potent subject matter and examines it from a distance, yet with remarkable clarity.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 9, 2023

Alice, Darling is a decent enough debut, sincere and heartfelt, shot competently, with an important message that isn’t quite matched by its quality.

Full Review | Feb 6, 2023

The multi-talented Kendrick can't save this well-intended project from being a stultifying bore.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 5, 2023

Alice, Darling has Kendrick giving one of the finest performances in her career.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 3, 2023

Alice, Darling isn’t fun, but it is intensely interesting. And the reason is Anna Kendrick.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2023

Mary Nighy ramps up the intensity, revealing the paradox of an abused woman who is smart, educated and financially independent but gives in to her abuser. Women in such relationships will relate to Alice, and Kendrick’s unhinged performance nails it.
