Rare female-led Scorsese film. Also, a rare PG Scorsese film. Overall, it’s a nice change of pace, if not as electric as his other films.

A mostly sobering but ultimately sweet drama about a woman finding her independence and place in the world. I am Alice and Alice is me.

Working my way backwards through Scorsese’s catalog I found this movie to be the most surprising of in terms of story telling & performances

It definitely makes you reflect on the struggles one has in their own life. Wonderful acting in this subtle, overlooked Scorsese drama.

An important movie ahead of its time at tackling topics like toxic masculinity and problematic gender roles. Painful to watch at times

A nice film. Very different from any other Scorsese film, but that is what makes is special. Burstyn gives here great performance!

This is not your typical Scorsese gangster film. It's more wholesome, but still has that realist Scorsese magic about it.

Ellen Burstyn is phenomenal in this uncharacteristically low key drama from Scorsese.
