In the psychological thriller ‘Alice, Darling’, Anna Kendrick stars as a woman trapped in an abusive relationship. In a powerful and gripping way, the film illustrates how physical and physiological abuse can go hand in hand with loving and affectionate gestures. As Alice is slowly pushed to a breaking point by her boyfriend Simon, she finally recognises the repetitive pattern of abuse she’s stuck in during a holiday with two close friends. Step by step, Alice rediscovers herself and starts to loosen her dependency on Simon. Her two best friends stage an intervention, but Simon’s vengeance is as inevitable as it is shattering - and, once unleashed, it tests Alice’s strength, courage, and the bonds of her deep-rooted friendships.
