Robert P @Superbad 4 days ago Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore = a *4* star Movie! See more Rafi M @RT61647557 Jul 17, 2026 A humid, gossipy and sometimes moving swatch of real life, lots of strong personalities from across the spectrum. Harvey Keitel is so young, and so evil - Jodie Foster is jarringly androgynous, especially for the time. Kris Kristofferson as the dreamboat hubby is as adorable as his truck. With some moments of hilarity and high drama, it's a significant study of the American Southwest, and of the struggles of women. See more Keith B B @Okbullard Dec 27, 2025 It was pretty good but just kind of meandered around. Diane Ladd and Ellen Burstyn were both exceptional. I doubt I'd ever want to watch it again. I liked the series much more. See more Eye C @ECinc May 27, 2025 More for the gossip than anything else, but at least this one didn't bore me. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 16, 2025 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme tem cenas mais ou menos, e o que salvou o filme foi a atuação do ellen burstyn, mas a história é meio chata e desinteressante, o elenco é fraco e quase ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme. See more Russ G @RT78760655 Jan 21, 2025 Saw this at age 21 when it came out and thought it was good. So I checked it out 50 years later and found it unwatchable. I skipped through about half of it but didn't miss anything. It's variously labeled as a drama and a comedy; it doesn't work either way. Kristofferson stinks up everything he's in; he should have stuck to songwriting. The kid is annoying AF. The story is utterly disjointed; the intent may have been to make it "episodic" in a documentary style, but the lack of flow is unacceptable. Alice is weak and dumb; she gets involved with someone she doesn't know just weeks removed from widowhood? Are we supposed to accept "vulnerability" as the excuse? Continuity is bad in this, too; first she's in a motel then a shabby apartment with no connecting scenes. Alice's husband is killed on the job; don't tell me there wouldn't have been life insurance or a lawsuit against his employer so I don't get why she was reduced to desperation. No family, no savings, no home ownership after around 13 years of marriage? Were the 60's and 70's really that bad for functioning adults? Alice is raising a 13/14 year old son who's a complete idiot? Some good moviemaking here such as the staged truck accident which couldn't have been cheap to film, but that doesn't make it a believable story or a good film, even with a barely pubescent Jody Foster in it. They used this film as the basis for a later sitcom simply called "Alice" but that was entirely different; it was more like a precursor to something like "Cheers" focusing on just four characters from the diner.
