Alice, Darling is a 2022 Canadian–American psychological thriller drama film directed by Mary Nighy, in her directorial debut, from a screenplay by Alanna Francis.
Sophie proposes that they should celebrate Tess' birthday at her parents' house up north, which Alice readily agrees to.
On the trip to the cottage, the trio makes a quick stop at a convenience store, where Alice spots a flyer for a missing girl, Andrea.
Unsuccessful, she returns to the shore where she suffers further panic attacks, muttering the phrase that she "can't do another thing wrong".
Alice stops responding to Simon's messages, leading him to show up unannounced with grocery bags in hand.
That evening at a very tense dinner, Simon pulls out a newspaper showing the news that the body of the missing girl was found.
In July 2021, it was announced Anna Kendrick, Charlie Carrick, Wunmi Mosaku, and Kaniehtiio Horn would star in the film, with Mary Nighy directing from a screenplay by Alanna Francis, with Elevation Pictures set to distribute domestically in Canada and Lionsgate internationally.
The website's consensus reads: "Alice, Darling offers a haunting look at how difficult it can be to leave an abusive relationship -- and the value of a solid support network."
Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 65 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
