One of Woody Allen’s most underrated outings, and it’s also one of the few instances where he’s respectful as a filmmaker towards characters he depicts that hold worldviews different than his own. ALICE is a warm affair that has charm to burn, even if the Asian character is a bit of a stereotype. Allen’s done this sort of New York fairy tale before with stuff like THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO, but ALICE is unique in Allen’s body of work in how it seems to lack his trademark cynicism, and the ending brought a huge smile to my face.
