So, a couple of weeks ago we saw the “Mr. Nice-Guy” of the movies, Tom Hanks channel his inner grump as A Man Called Otto. And now a new release has another actor “pushing” out of their cinema “comfort zone”, though maybe not as jarring as Mr. H. For the last few years she’s made her “name” in bouncy musicals (even a music franchise) and frothy, but usually witty, “rom-coms”. From this film’s title, many moviegoers may think this effort falls in the latter category. And they would be mistaken. Granted it concerns modern relationships and a romance that, to put it lightly, has taken a turn. As you might guess, today’s tech “amps up” the problems. Perhaps that’s why there’s more than a touch of irony in its title, along with general menace, with what should be a phrase of endearment, Alice, Darling.

Tightly wound, the film comes back again and again to hair. The management thereof, the removal, the curling, even eyeliner is an act to offset lashes. Hair in showers, hair in lakes, hair in spirals, hair in hands. Camouflage and signal, sword and shield, of the body and off, not quite alive and not yet dead. A boundary. One of many.
A début feature for Mary Nighy, some shorts, some TV, some roles in front of the camera to her credit. A credible and compelling work, buoyed by strong performances from its cast but given further strength by several choices that ground this. Written by Alanna Francis, working with Mark Van De Ven as story editor as she did for 2019's similarly relationship focused The Rest Of Us, the film is a story sufficiently solid that at times I felt it might have been a stage play.
That's not because it's.
