Alice Tate, mother of two, with a marriage of 16 years, finds herself falling for a handsome sax player, Joe. Stricken with a backache, she consults herbalist Dr. Yang, who realizes that her problems are not related to her back, but in her mind and heart.

Alice
Another stylish, slightly magical and sometines funny Woody Allen film that goes on about (another classic move from this auteur) existencialism and morality.
I gotta give the man his praises, as he did an unthinkable feat: he made the most interesting part of the movie be about a character played by a Baldwin.

There's plenty to appreciate about Alice, but it's a film that could've benifited from a lot more comedy. The comedic moments we do get are great, but they're too few and far between for my liking, ultimately causing the film to feel a bit dry.

59/100
the movie was a bit too slow and every other character but Alice didn't feel well developed at all. apart from that it was a mid Woody Allen movie.
