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
The titular abode in the Brazilian drama Alice's House is crowded, and its inhabitants dysfunctional.Full Review
Teixeira elicits extraordinary performances from his entire cast.Full Review
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
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
