Alice (1990) Blu-ray Review

Woody Allen takes another stab at surreal character exploration with Alice, a sort of kissing cousin to the magical events that unfold in his masterpiece The Purple Rose of Cairo.

I REALLY hated that movie when I saw it in 1990.

I only kinda hated it when I saw the DVD in 2001.

Maybe if I saw the Blu-ray, it'd only moderately annoy me!

This is one of Woody Allen's most engaging films. It and "Purple Rose of Cairo" are fantasies grounded in the real world. I really feel sorry for anyone who hated it or would be moderately annoyed by it, especially a movie lover. Mia Farrow turns in a wonderfully engaging portrayal of Alice and the film is both funny and very serious. It's a holiday treat that it was released this month, and I plan on enjoying many viewings on this superb BD presentation.
