Review of Alice (1990) by John Hartl for The Seattle Times — 30 Nov 1999
It's a strange, magical film, in which Allen uses the arts of the ancient Chinese healer as a shortcut to psychoanalysis; at the end of the film, which covers only a few days, Alice has learned truths about her husband, her parents, her marriage, her family and herself, and has undergone a profound conversion in values.
Because this is a Woody Allen film, a lot of that metaphysical process is very funny.
