Pushed to the breaking point by Simon, her psychologically abusive boyfriend, Alice becomes an unwitting participant in an intervention staged by her two closest friends while on vacation. As she rediscovers the essence of herself and gains some much-needed perspective, she slowly starts to fray the cords of codependency that bind her. However, Simon's vengeance is as inevitable as it is shattering, and once unleashed, it tests her strength, her courage, and the bonds of deep-rooted friendships.

If you're here for entertainment, this isn't it. That's what makes Alice, Darling so good

Alice, Darling is a surprisingly accurate portrayal of coercive abuse. Coercive abuse and control is the slow erosion of the victim's sense of self. There's no dramatic set-up with explosive drama or thrilling moments, which understandably can leave audiences wantingThroughout the movie there are subtle cues of abuse. To an outsider the abuse is so insignificant it's not detectable. Leaving the victim thinking the reason for the abuse is their faultThis movie pays homage to the victims of abuse, empathetically and with great consideration. Alice, Darling is probably more for victims and their loved ones, than for a general audience. This could be the reason for the low score. It could serve as an introduction to those who are interested in coercive abuseThe actors does a great job of conveying the confusing reality of abuse, for the victim and those around her. The pacing could at times seem slow but it goes with the general theme of realism, rather than entertainment. In my opinion, the run-time was perfect. Any longer and the movie could've easily been a drudge fest. The dialogue is well-written and there must have been a lot of research involved.It's not a movie that delves into absolutes, which makes it even more realisticA well worth watch.

Clearly the other reviewers know nothing about narcissistic abuse

I am shocked by the 5.5 rating of this film. Totally shocked.

Other reviewers commenting that Alice's character was "boring" clearly know nothing about what being in a narcissistically abusive relationship does to a person. You become a shell. The narcissist steals all of your personality with their abuse.

I thought this was a great portrayal of a situation that is more common than most people think. Anna Kendrick was excellent. The actors who played her friends did a fantastic job as well, realizing over the vacation exactly what kind of relationship she is in as she slowly starts to admit things to them.

I do wish the film had been longer, as I felt Alice's turnaround was a little too quick. It takes an average of seven attempts for a person to leave an abusive relationship. But I loved the climax scene. I was so proud of all three of the girls and the way they handled it. And the boyfriend reacted exactly as I knew he would, throwing the suitcase out of the car.

I didn't really understand the sub-plot of the missing girl, but I'm guessing it's to show the contrast of violence. Her boyfriend never physically abused her, but abuse is abuse.

To the reviewers on here who said we never see him doing anything "that bad"...please. Telling your partner how to eat is not okay. There were many clues throughout the film that she has an eating disorder. Many of the things he said to her in the flashback scenes were not okay. The fact that she would get up early to do her hair, put on eyeliner, and scrub her body down...those are all things brought on by his mental abuse. Her freaking out when she loses the earring he bought her and saying "I can't do anything else wrong". Plus her rushing to put on eyeliner when he got there and his comments about how she "looks different". Him blaming his work being affected by her lying to him and saying she was hanging out with her friends at his expense. The constant texting and checking in. Showing up to her girls trip? Hello! That's nuts!

If I could review this more times to get the score up, I would. I'm so glad I didn't pay attention to the bad reviews.
