Alice

Elements of the film's background are loosely based on the narrative of Mae Louise Walls Miller, who escaped from slavery in 1963.

Nearly five years after the Waterford meeting, however, Mae Louise Walls Miller of Mississippi told Harrell that she didn't get her freedom until 1963. Miller told her about how she and her mother were raped and beaten when they went to the main house to work.

Since that time, Harrell has continued her research and documenting their story.

Over time, she said the "modern day slaves" did leave Waterford Plantation as their offspring were able to attend college or buy a home. While many of their parents, by then in their 70s and in poor health, knew they were free but still stayed where they were or went to another plantation. But she added they encouraged their children "to move ahead and take their liberties or freedom."

Honestly I have to say I'm shocked by how atrociously low this movie is being rated. The acting in the movie was really good and the story was very interesting. Truly don't see why this is being rated so poorly.

Keke her performance was phenomenal in this!

Definitely recommend watching it.

And for all the people reviewing this writing annoying things like "based on a true story where??" Maybe you should google things more before you post? A simple search would have led you to multiple articles on this. I'll help you out! Google: "What story is Alice 2022 based on?"

Google Mae Louise Walls Miller perhaps?

Anyway. Again: great movie, great acting, great story. Nothing else.

Alice was fine. It was a perfectly enjoyable film. It does not deserve its current 4.4 rating. The acting and cinematography was top notch, the dialogue was simplistic but the story was was entertaining and meaningful. Only mistake these folks made was putting a black face on the cover and-- 'boom!'-- minus three stars. Ignore these jive talkin' reviewers, man; Alice is all-right.

We've come along way in more ways than one. I would've love to see something a bit more original with this talented cast but not oh well. We saw this in Antebellum with Janelle Monae and by the way did a phenomenal job. Anyway if you looking for something to pass the time it's a decent movie . I'm just a retired guy that watches way too many movies .

.... Or more than likely I just wasn't taught the truth on this, like with so many other aspects of American History! I can't believe that I had no idea that this crap went on until the 1960's! Reading some of the reviews here after watching this movie I followed someone's comment suggesting people look into Mae Louise Miller if they wanted proof that this could have happened and I was shocked. I can't believe there were people who got away with slavery until my mothers generation here in America. There's no excuse for it and I can't believe it was possible, well, I can believe, but you know... What I truly can't believe are all the comments by people here claiming its all a bunch of "woke bs".... People in denial I guess. Pretty pathetic. Probably the same people that believe all the conspiracy theories out there and believe everything is a coverup yet when real situations like this are brought to light they claim its bs... Which makes no sense. But whatever.... That said, this movie was well done and as shocking as the reality of the concept was it made a great revenge story! Weaving reality with fiction making it a disturbing, yet entertaining movie.
