Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore 01/21/09 at 04:30 AM by TJ Wells |

Directed by Martin Scorsese
Rated PG
1974
112 minutes
*** 1/2
The film that inspired the tv series Alice won Ellen Burstyn an Oscar as a newly widowed woman who moves to Phoenix en route to Monterey with her son in tow, trying to become a singer. Suffice to say she gets caught up along the way. Burstyn is absolutely fantastic in a film that now seems radically uncharacteristic for Scorsese. Drags on a bit long, but the incredible dynamic between Burstyn and kid is well worth watching. | |
