Alice

The 70s were characterized perfectly, the acting was great, it was an interesting storyline, and it felt like a movie made in the 70s. It all came together perfectly.

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.

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 .

This movie is what it is. I'm not sure you can call it good because it either needed more time to develop or less time spent developing. To anyone that thinks this is an "alternate reality" piece though, this kind of thing happened. Maybe not EXACTLY this kind of thing but black people in the deep south were denied freedom well into the 20th century (as late as 1963). Don't believe me, google Mae Louise Walls Miller, A little research might help you appreciate the premise more and perhaps break away from the THIS DOESN'T FIT IN WITH MY WORLD VIEW SO I AM GOING TO THROW MUD AT IT crowd. Just sayin'....

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."
