About
You’ll probably like Alice if you enjoy whimsical, mystic-leaning Woody Allen style romantic escapism with a wealthy New York vibe; Not for you if you want consistently sharp jokes or a clearly steady tone, like in Everyone Says I Love You or The Purple Rose of Cairo.
Pros: imaginative fantasy premise; charming romance tone; strong ensemble cast | Cons: uneven pacing; mood shifts feel jumbled; lead performance divisive
