Alice may be a minor work in the Allen canon, but when its grace notes manage to be heard above the whimsy, they ring true.

Continues Allen's endless, banal quest for the Big Answers.

It's a strange, magical film.

Farrow peers through the looking glass sparkly in lovely Alice, a downright adorable collaboration with the mellowed father-of-her-child.

a second-tier Woody Allen film, starring then companion Mia Farrow.

Farrow relishes the opportunity to play everything from a timid, guilt-racked housewife to a sultry amoral siren, who does everything short of attacking her victim...

Allen overstuffs the movie with cameos and contrivances.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Underrated Woody Allen offering with some fine performances and a lot of style.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Supposedly whimsical fantasy by Woody Allen feels forced and underdeveloped. Great performances by Joe Mantegna and Mia Farrow are lost in Allen's bizarre dream world.

Drags on far too long, but there are moments that tickle the imagination and continue to provoke chuckles days after seeing the film.

Much like Burn After Reading felt like the Coens trying too hard to make a "Coen" film, Alice, a loose reimagining of Juliet of the Spirits, feels like Woody desperately trying to make a "Woody Allen" film. To no avail.

Super Reviewer

Ghosts, hallucinations, love potions, invisibility and penguins. An outlandish but likable expos� on the true meaning of happiness. (Directed by Woody Allen)
