    Unexplained Blackouts...

    An exotic dancer named Frankie (Halle Berry) is admitted to a psychiatric ward after several strange and violent incidents. Under the care of Dr. "Oz" Oswald (Stellan Skarsgard), Frankie begins to uncover hidden aspects of herself.

    FRANKIE & ALICE is an effective, engaging drama, reminiscent of movies like SYBIL or I NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROSE GARDEN. Ms. Berry is outstanding in her multiple role. She handles it with great depth and believability throughout...

    Borderline

    Sometimes it's easy to dismiss things or take them for granted. Watching Halle Berry, the ageless one, performing here is a treat. And it's a big obstacle she has to overcome. Because she could have easily drifted into ridiculous with her portrayal. Unknowingly so, especially if the director wouldn't have noticed either.

    But playing it the way she does, you believe her and all the sudden changes she goes through. It helps having Stellan at her side. It's also nice to see the wife of the Cosby show in this, even in a small role like this. The movie/story itself is based on a true story, but don't be put off by that. It was a story worth being told

    Halle Berry on her best

    I never heard of this film until I saw it in the list of the movies 2010/2011, then i saw its trailer and after that, it got nominated for Golden Globe.

    Berry plays a woman with Multiple personality disorder. I would say superb acting, especially how she did the different personages.

    I would say this movie is above average. this movie received very bad reviews from critics, I don't understand why they rate it that bad.I would say excellent incredible acting, especially how she did the different personages.

    I would say see the movie for your self, then draw your conclusions before putting a negative rating.

    Don't listen to the critics on this one the only thing similar to Sybil was the mental disorder.

    Well i had heard little and nothing about this flick and only finding out about it after i saw that Halle Berry was nominated for a golden globe and reading the review and synopsis to this hidden away little flick and found out it was a true life case of a woman with split personality disorder. Halle plays a stripper named Frankie whose little mood swings have all but frightened the crap out of her coworkers and boss. It turns out these mood swings are a lot more serious and turn out to be s.p.d. Frankie has two others sharing her tired little body, one a frightened but smart as a whip 9yr old girl who her psychiatrist Dr. Oz (Stellan Skarsgard) names genius and an racist white woman named Alice. As the movie rolls along we find out that their is a lot of history that inspired Frankie to take on these alter persona's and can be triggered by something as simple as a song on the radio. An overall good film that lot of reviewers and critics have been calling a Sybil rip off ( I don't call it that but the mental illness is the same thats for sure) Berry's nomination for the golden globe failed and wasn't won as it went to Natalie Portman's performance in Black Swan (another acting job that was well deserved of the win) however she once again pulled off a solid job along with a stellar performance in this film.

    Great acting by Halle Berry

    This film is about a young black woman called Frankie, and her struggle to make sense of her multiple personality disorder while having treatment in a psychiatric facility.

    I am impressed by Halle Berry's acting in this film, as she breezes through three vastly different personalities. The amazing finale on the psychiatrist's couch is quite breathtaking, both plot wise and acting wise.

    The film is engaging and gripping throughout, and it is hard not to be sympathetic towards Frankie as her painful past is revealed through a series of flashbacks. "Frankie and Alice" is a very good drama that creates much empathy and resonance.

      Frankie Murdoch: Multiple personality, huh? But, who are they?

      Oz: Well, they're you. Your aspects of you. Your subconscious.

      Frankie Murdoch: Okay, but why?

      Oz: That's what we'll have to find out.

      Frankie Murdoch: So, what you're saying is, I got all these different... people living inside of me, right? But, I don't know who they are.

      Oz: Well, we all have different personalities and different selves. "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes." It's Whitman.
