Alice, Darling film review: Anna Kendrick paints an affecting portrait of emotional abuse
A young woman trapped in an abusive relationship becomes the unwitting participant in an intervention staged by her two closest friends.While the marketing sends mixed messages, this is not just a narrative of suffering. Most of it concerns Alice’s attempt to escape, if only for a while, on a vacation with pals Sophie and Tess to celebrate the latter’s birthday.
Anyone who’s known abuse victims would pick up on what Alice is sending out, even without foreknowledge of her story. She makes excuses, she tries to back out of everything, and when called on any of it, forcefully makes grand gestures of overcompensation, like suddenly and visibly stuffing her face to “prove” that she’s not forced to be on a punitive diet. It’s easy to see why some involved thoughtwas worth a one-week, awards-qualifying screening to see if Kendrick could score nominations.
