Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The greatest mystery of Alias Grace is whether you can endure the boredom in order to make it to the end.Although, there is a sense of a fantastic series buried in the cracks, I found myself at times wishing they would just get to the punch.

Spannungsfreie, vorhersehbare Handlung. Flache Charaktere und enntäuschende Entwicklung

I found the plot a bit slow to begin with. It took a few episodes to really get into the story, but it was always intriguing enough to keep me watching.The protagonist, Grace, is very likable. She's smart and hardworking but she's monotonous. The actress does a good job portraying her, but at times I found her acting mediocre. I would think the objective was to show how Grace's interactions with different characters contributed to the events leading up to the murders, like all the abuse, disrespect, etc. And you really develope a sense to why such a thing could happen. You really "feel" with Grace as you get to know her throughout the story.Overall, I enjoyed the show.

I was drawn into the era of story which I never read and was clueless. Its claiming based on true story certainly added another enticing element. And it did not disappoint me with its surprisingly well thought out storyline.In my view, Dr. Jordan's character was brilliantly put and relevant despite of its fictional nature hence the scenario could not be done without. The degree of truth in reality might not be followed through . However, it's not overly dramatized without merits.I am intrigued by Ms. Atwood's creativity to build the true event into such a logically unfolding and gripping story. I do not think there would be any diagnoses of multiple personality disorder exited or awareness even in 19th century. Yet, it displayed the causes of the horrendous crime at that time despite its half fictional story. What amazed me the most was the psychopathic killings of James McDermott's part explained Grace's being a unwilling accomplice which would fit into the modern murder profile of such kind. I would give Ms. Atwood two thumbs up on that. Once a while I enjoy well-crafted psychopath thrillers without overwhelmingly graphic images for a change. This definitely would be one of them.
