September 4, 2009Great Scorsese film, with a superb cast. The relationship between mother and son is fantastic to watch and at times hilarious. I really liked the TV spin off show that came from this film too, it was on channel 4 at 6.00pm during the 80's and my sister and I never missed an episode!

February 3, 2009This is not your typical Scorcese film, leaving New York City out of the picture altogether in favor of the rural southwest. Burstyn won a much-deserved Oscar for her portrayal of Alice, a lady who packs up her son and heads for a new life with her barekly-tolerable son. She meet...( read more)

January 4, 2009In 1974 Martin Scorsese followed a road less traveled and made the drama Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, which is about a thritysomething housewife (Ellen Burstyn) who loses her husband in a traffic accident and decides to go back to singing in Monterey California taking her 11 ...( read more)

April 7, 2008The world just shits all over Ellen Burstyn in this surprisingly stylish and touching film by Martin Scorsese

March 12, 2008Really charming film with a wonderful script. It kind of reminded me of "Terms of Endearment".
Great performances all around... the kid was wonderful, although he was an obnoxious little brat. Ellen Burstyn was wonderful, but at times unpleasant to watch because she was an over ...( read more) -

October 11, 2009One of Scorsese's earliest works, "Alice" is not one of the director's strongest stories either dramatically or artistically, but it does introduce us to a great performance by Ellen Burstyn and her interesting little son (Alfred Lutter, who never pursued an acting carreer and st...( read more)

September 27, 2009again,another scorsese underrated gem.this,and that movie called after hours should be his classic,not that movie about a boxer,or some lunatic taxi driver,or a joe pesci-gone-mad-mafia-movie. maybe it's scorsese image of the maker of 'guy' movie that makes this movie gone overlo...( read more)

September 6, 2009This is one of Martin Scorsese's best films, and is very unlike what you would expect from him. It's hard to believe this followed Mean Streets! Alice is a very sensitive film, with a strong feminist storyline. Ellen Burstyn gives a brilliant performance and she very much deserve...( read more)

July 17, 2009Delightfully humane-- if you showed me this film without telling me that the king of tense macho New Yorker stories directed it, I would never be able to guess who did. It's true : Scorsese is surprisingly comfortable at handling a story about an independent woman travelling acro...( read more)
