Critic Reviews

Chico Teixeira's languid, libidinous Alice's House is the best argument against marriage and motherhood to appear in many a year.Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis
The New York Times

The titular abode in the Brazilian drama Alice's House is crowded, and its inhabitants dysfunctional.Full Review

V.A. Musetto
New York Post

Teixeira elicits extraordinary performances from his entire cast.Full Review

David Wiegand
San Francisco Chronicle

Unlike Pedro Almdovar's "What Have I Done To Deserve This?," which focused on a similarly harried wife and mother who reached her breaking point, Alice's House does not leaven its heroine's plight with dark humor. Nor does it offer any easy escape route.Full Review

Rene Rodriguez
Miami Herald

The power of this plot comes from the drudgery of daily existence, not shocking revelations or dramatic encounters. Some stories, Teixeira is wise enough to realize, are best left unadorned.Full Review
