This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Great film with a good story (sadly true) and terrific acting from Halle Berry. As the story unfolds the film is slow and mesmerising, with a great soundtrack and spot-on fashion for the period. It's interesting, dramatic and sensitive without being mawkish, I loved it. It's not a new theme, but this one feels very real, one to recommend.

"Frankie & Alice" is a 2010 movie. It is based on a true story of a young woman with a multiple personality disorder and is now available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. The director is Geoffrey Sax. The screenplay is by Cheryl Edwards and Marko King. Halle Berry is Frankie, the afflicted woman. The rest of the cast includes Stellan Skarsgarrd, Phylicia Rashad, Chandra Wilson, Alex Diakun, Joanne Baron, Brian Markinson, Matt Frewer, Rosalyn Coleman, Sean Tyson, Melainie Papalia, Kira Clavell, Joey Bothwell, Adrian Holmes, James Kirk, Kennedy Goodkey, Andrew Francis, Vanessa Morgan, Michayla McKenzie and Megan Charpentier. The story revolves around the inner conflicts of Frankie's other selves and uses hypnosis to dig deep into her youth to find the answers. I gave this film a score of 6. Dale Haufrect

. . . which progressed to GOTHIKA in 2003, America's most self-flagellating actress--Halle Berry--deftly plays another psychiatric basket case in FRANKIE & ALICE. Her latest is not a perfect movie. For one thing, it could have included more comic relief scenes of Ms. Berry in Whiteface, whistling Dixie, in order to break the occasionally uncomfortable build-ups of tension. But the Right-to-Life agenda is sandwiched so delicately into FRANKIE & ALICE that many Pro-Choicers will not even realize it's there. Ms. Berry performs most of the trademark moves her groupies love, such as sitting forlornly on the floor under a running shower clutching her shins to conceal her private parts, which she's done in at least five films now. This is definitely a "chick flick" (the dead give-away for this genre is that the strippers--including Ms. Berry's character here--never wear less than a bikini, and the extras playing the fake strip club customers go bananas anyway).

The question I had, was, Dr.Oz and his LSD experiments that Frankiesaid made him"responsible for the Grateful Dead", an older Owsley? Doctors of Psyciatry were experimenting with l222 earlier than the 70's, like around 1967. Was this a real character?If so , he was responsible for rock as we knew it and also Steve Jobs (to name a few) Brings a whole new meaning to the film. It says based on a true story. Who's true story? Anybody know the name of the book or Doctor? Director tried to make an interesting movie for adults, however, there are so little left that I suppose some more irrelevant 70's scenes and more sex would have satisfied the critics. We need more learned Critics is my opinion.
