Full Plot Details

Despite admitting that she was scared of him in her never-ending quest to please him, thirty-five year old housewife and mother Alice Hyatt is devastated when her husband Donald is killed in an on the job traffic accident. With few job skills except that as a singer, Alice, along with her precocious eleven year old son Tommy, decides to move from their current home in Socorro, New Mexico to her home town of Monterrey, California, the only place she has ever felt happy. She plans on getting singing gigs along the way to earn money to get back to Monterrey by the end of the summer and the start of Tommy's school year. Alice's quest for a job at each stop leaves Tommy often to fend for himself, which may make Tommy even more precocious. His behavior is fostered by Alice, as their relationship is often more as trouble-making friends than mother and son. Alice's plans often do not end up as she envisions, especially as she is forced to take a waitressing job at Mel and Ruby's Diner in Tucson, Arizona, which entails working with a disparate group, including Mel, the establishment's gruff owner/short order cook, and her fellow waitresses, the wisecracking, foul mouthed Flo, and the naive and shy Vera. Alice also falls into old habits, namely relying on men to make her feel fulfilled, specifically the much younger Ben, and farmer David. Those relationships may also provide her with a better perspective on her life and her bad choice of Donald as a husband.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe movie has been both attacked and defended on feminist grounds, but I think it belongs somewhere outside ideology, maybe in the area of contemporary myth and romance.
New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyAlternating gritty realism and red‑hued fantasy, this is one of those '70s films that wears well, universal in its heart while picking out specifics which are exactly of their time.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Jake Eukerthe question isn't will this be adapted for television? so much as how soon?
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonComing just after Mean Streets and before Taxi Driver, it's as good as either of them.
The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Scott TobiasSince women are usually such foreign creatures in Scorsese's work, he seemed an unlikely choice to direct Burstyn's feminist vehicle, but his aggressive style suits her uncompromising character.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Kim NewmanAlternating between gritty realism and red-hued fantasy, this is one of those 70s films that has worn well, managing to be universal in its heart while picking out specifics that now look exactly of their time.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Amber WilkinsonScorsese's direction isn't showy but he keeps his camera fluid, giving scenes a sense of movement even when the characters are static.
CinePassion - 8/10 by Fernando F. CrocePulsing with nervous energy, Scorsese's camera is in a state of continuous discovery
Matt's Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Matthew PejkovicAlice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is a touching and poignant movie which speaks to both sexes about the power of equality and the struggle for independence.
The New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelNot always successful, but packed with energy and a lively Oscar-winning performance by Burstyn.
