Review of Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) by Alister N — 31 Dec 2009
It surprised me with how good it was, roping me in and keeping me interested throughout. The mother-son dynamic between Ellen Burstyn and Alfred Lutter was absolutely spot-on, the supporting performances were excellent, and the camera technique was intriguing without being intrusive.
It had warmth without sentimentality. But then, right at the end, something terrible happened. The unholiest of movie clichés: the clapping scene.
