Frankie and Alice is a buffet of character study for Ms. Berry to sink her teeth into, which is exactly what she does with gusto and conviction

| Jul 24, 2024

Modestly engaging, the film is more suited to cable 온라인카지노추천 and Netflix.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 19, 2014

... provides Berry with a diva showcase for plenty of over-the-top emotional outbursts and violent tantrums.

| Apr 18, 2014

Admittedly a generously apportioned slice of awards-bait pie, but a well-rendered and engaging psychological drama nonetheless, anchored by two solid performances.

| Original Score: 6.0/10 | Apr 18, 2014

It may be based on true events, but it seems more truly inspired by the star-producer's desire for an ostentatious showcase to demonstrate that her Best Actress recognition didn't Jinx (ouch) a career notable for such post-Oscar calamities as 'Catwoman.'

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Frankie & Alice feels like a film that might have been groundbreaking 40 years ago but has cable-온라인카지노추천 movie of the week written all over it in 2014.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2014

Berry has proven she's willing to take on enormous challenges, and she certainly exceeds her grasp here. Perhaps that's why Frankie & Alice plays more like an elaborate acting workshop than a movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2014

While all this channel-switching and inevitable unearthing of psychic demons generates a great awards-season clip, it doesn't necessarily lead to a satisfying drama.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 3, 2014

It may be that this genre has been forever ruined, or just that it requires a more subtle hand than the one exhibited by Geoffrey Sax, the director here.

| Apr 3, 2014

Lamentably by-the-numbers, treated like an affliction-of-the-week 온라인카지노추천 movie by its eight (!) credited writers and directed by Geoffrey Sax as if he knew where commercials should go.

Full Review | Apr 3, 2014

"Frankie" is a little thin despite its weighty subject matter, but it has some strong performances amid the predictable psychodrama.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 3, 2014

Dusted off a full five years after it finished filming, [Frankie & Alice] is now a strange, wounded beast that cries out for Academy validation with every histrionic frame, yet has already missed its window of opportunity.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 3, 2014

Reduces multiple personality disorder to haunted memories and melodramatic flashbacks with limited insight about the reality of this true story and its long-term effects.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 3, 2014

It's hard to see beyond Berry's forced mannerisms. She swerves from boogie-dancing tough girl to stoic matron to irritatingly voiced kid.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 3, 2014

Old-fashioned as a leisure suit, but better-looking and a lot more fun.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 3, 2014

Frankie & Alice is lurid - again, she's a stripper - and occasionally silly in the way that so many multiple-personality stories wind up being.

| Apr 1, 2014

Berry shows total commitment to the part, allowing herself to go unhinged in the hands of a director not quite capable of supporting such a risky tightrope act.

| Mar 31, 2014

Throughout, its exhibitionist proclivities are evened-out under director Geoffrey Sax's astute guidance and the intelligent, nuanced performances of Berry and Skarsgard.

| Mar 31, 2014

It's not just Frankie who is putting on a show here. Berry is also overemphatically showing off her chops.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 19, 2011

May look like an attempt to win another Oscar for Berry, and she does give a powerful performance here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2011
