Alice (2022)
Written & directed by Krystin Ver Liden this film stars Keke Plamer, Jonny Lee Miller and Common. A woman escapes slavery on a plantation in Georgia only to find out it is actually the 1970s and slavery is illegal.
I love the premise of this film, asking us how a slave would react to the civil rights movement and a celebration of blaxplotation films of the period. Unfortunately the film never really nails what it is going for, it is just too on the nose at times, especially with literally putting a Pam Grier movie in the movie. As much as I want to love this one I just can not despite how good Keke Palmer is in it.
2/5
