| | | Review Revue |
| | Sisterhood is Powerful | A movie focused on female friendship, Alice, Darling is also about the psychological toll of abuse, and how a person might come to believe that they’re worthless and don’t deserve better. Mary Nighy’s debut feature also allowed star Anna Kendrick to come to terms with her own real-life experience of emotional abuse. Critics sense both the personal nature of the film and the camaraderie between its cast, praising both for their emotional truth. | - “Kendrick, [Kaniehtiio] Horn and [Wunmi] Mosaku are an electric trio. They bounce off of one another effortlessly, sharing a three-dimensional bond that reverberates throughout the film. It leaps off the screen.” — Valerie Complex, Deadline
- “Kendrick starts by channeling a fragility, as if Alice were made of china and any sudden moves … could shatter her. Then her performance, under Nighy’s assured direction, shifts. It grows, retracts and swells again, reflecting the emotional seesaw of abuse.” — Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter
- “Ultimately, it’s about the bonds of sisterhood and how those who know you best and love you most can help you heal, or at least start you on that path.” — Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times

Check out our list of 25 critically acclaimed limited series you can start and finish this weekend. | | Pam & Tommy | This eight-hour Hulu miniseries is based on the juiciest chapter (the infamous sex tape) in one of the biggest tabloid sagas of the ‘90s: the marriage of Baywatch’s Pamela Anderson to Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee. Its stars went to great lengths to transform themselves for their roles, and the real people behind the story have some (negative) opinions about it. Critics, on the other hand, praised this “sleazy opus” with “an undeniable heart.” | Add to watchlist |
