| Slant MagazineJeremiah KippAlice, Sweet Alice conflates the angst of adolescent sexual development with the fury of Catholic retribution, suggesting at times an analog version of David Fincher’s Se7en. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Sole, whose first feature this is, knows how to direct actors, how to manipulate suspense and when to shift gears: the identity of the killer is revealed at just that point when the audience is about to make the identification, after which the film becomes less of a horror film than an exercise in suspense. |
| User Reviewvillain_editsAdoro esse filme, a ambientação, o clima do filme, as cenas de violência, o visual em geral do filme inteiro pra mim é icônico demais. Os temas que ele aborda e como aborda, os personagens em geral. Só o final que pra mim foi um pouquinho duvidoso, mas ainda sim eu gostei. Recomendo dms esse filme. |

Cuando laAlice Sweet Alice (1976) Sinopsis: Alice es una extraña y problemática niña que vive con su madre y con Karen, su hermana pequeña. Cuando Karen muere durante su primera comunión, las sospechas recaen inmediatamente sobre Alice. Cuando la niña es acusada, su padre separado inicia una investigación en busca de la verdad... Opinión: Un thriller slasher bastante interesante, con un tono y atmósfera siniestro y relativamente retorcido, tiene un plot twist que si bien no impacta demasiado, resulta inesperado de todas formas. Lo mejor son los primeros 15-20 minutos, la escena de la primera comunión para ser mas especifico, el resto está OK. Lo único malo a mi juicio son los personajes, los cuales parecen una manada de enajenados en desgracia cuyas actuaciones llegan a ser abrumadoras de lo exageradas que son, o sea, se la pasan chillando como si estuviesen adicionando para una obra de teatro de tragedia presentada en un acto escolar. Por otro lado la paleta de colores apesta bastante ya que hace parecer a los actores como si fueran fantasmas, o es eso o les colocaron un saco de polvo de maquillaje en toda la cara. Valoración: 3.5 ⭐ de 5 ⭐ Con fallas pero tiene lo suyo de todos modos. |
