In an intimate and unflinching account dealing with grief, 'Alice is Still Dead' tells the story of a murdered loved one from the victim's family perspective. From the detective's notification to her family to facing the killer in court, we see the pain, anger and heartbreak a family must endure while the nightmare is investigated. The filmmaker is the brother of the late Alice Stevens and, in this tribute, ultimately asks if it's even possible to move forward after such a traumatic event.

The director told us that this story was about his journey to getting to know who his sister was. I think he did a good job at that. The last few scenes about the culprits and trial was short enough to remind us that it wasnt about her death but about her life. Hope this family finds peace.

Alice Is Still Dead

I&#39;ve watched this 4X now. My condolences to Edwin. I absolutely can not fathom going ahead with your wedding while the ink is not dry on your sisters death certificate. The one area I thought would be interesting that the doc glossed over was the direction Alice&#39;s life was taking. Quotes like &quot;started the morning with a shot Cap&#39;t Morgans right out of the bottle..&quot; and the house &quot;filled with animal feces&quot; makes me think this lifestyle perhaps had disaster written on it from the beginning. Regardless, Edwin is a strong man to go through what he did and realize the effect it took on him both internally and externally.

Unlike many documentaries that only show murder from the outside perspective, Alice Is Still Dead follows the story alongside the victim&#39;s family through every step of the process, from the detective&#39;s notification to her family facing the killer in court. This movie was made by Edwin P. Stevens, the brother of the late Alice Stevens. Intended as a tribute to her life, it&#39;s also his way of pondering whether he and his family can move forward. He explained the unique situation by saying, &quot;In 2013, only a week prior to my wedding, my little sister, Alice, was murdered. I have been at a loss for years about what I could possibly do to put the grief, anxieties, anger and feelings of utter loss and regret into a story that might do her memory justice. These desires culminated in this film.&quot; If seeing real imagery of violence and the impact of murder upsets you, you may want to be ready to avert your eyes during this film. It does not pull back or shy away from the grisly aftermath of a double murder. If the journey in the film seems exhausting to you, the viewer, one can only imagine what it felt like to be part of Alice&#39;s family. There&#39;s a search for answers, such as how could any of them change her behavior or speak to her or avert a senseless tragedy. In the end, there&#39;s no catharsis, only loss and changing the way that you deal with the world. It&#39;s never over. It just keeps going. Unlike so many true crime docs that simply sensationalize cases or glorify the technology used to catch the murderers, this film stays human and near the family, taking you through the very raw emotions as well as how the murder and trial have kept the filmmaker from establishing a family of his own.

Gripping and thoughtful documentary about a young woman and the ramifications of her murder on her family. Get the kleenex ready. I bawled through the entire second half.

This is up there with the top 3 documentaries I have ever watched. This showed the rawness and human side of a family who lost a loved one to murder. It did not focus on the crime but on Alice and all those who loved her. You really feel like you are on this journey with them to find out who Alice really was to everyone. I must admit the mother had me wondering if she was too hard on Alice, but watching it several times she was just a mother who wanted the best for the daughter she loved. I wondered what Alice&#39;s boyfriend&#39;s family thought of this. I have watched this several times and have recommended this to friends.
