It takes a long time for Wenders to get where he wants to go but it's worth the wait... .
09/05/08
Touching but never sentimental.
01/04/08
Hauntingly photographed by Robbie Müller, it's one of this hugely uneven filmmaker's crispest, finest moments.
01/04/08
The fragmentary approach could never be called exhilarating, but it has a sly humour, and the mood is sustained by Vogler and Rottlander as the unlikely companions.
01/04/08
A fine and perhaps unique example of that trickiest of genres, the road movie, and the sort of film that really does deserve the cliched response: they don't make them like that any more, because they really don't.
01/04/08
It is a shame the excruciatingly wooden adult actors were not as natural as Yella Rottländer who played nine-year-old Alice.
01/04/08
Captivating performances from both Vogler and Rottlander whose on-screen chemistry provides the beating heart of Alice In The Cities.
01/04/08
Don't be put off by the black and white and subtitles, this is a family film with intelligence, energy and charm to spare.

Hardly must-see Wenders, but for fans of his road movies, it remains a treat.

There are points when the director allows his voice to ring a little loudly from behind the camera, but the richness and depth of both the photography and the characterisation manage to brush any signs of preachiness and sentimentality from view.

Top CriticAn important film for Wenders and New German Cinema, Alice In The Cities is compulsive viewing for any fan of the director. A freewheeling look at friendship, loneliness and life, the only thing black and white about it is the film stock.
