Alice in Earnestland

ComedyDramaThriller87 min

Hospital bills for her vegetative husband keep piling up, and Alice is running out of ways to pay them. Jung-hyun Lee is Alice, a young woman whose hard work and careful routines offer no way out of debt or the suspended life she’s been forced to maintain. When a possible answer finally appears, that fragile routine starts to crack. Ahn Gooc-jin’s South Korean film keeps its focus tight on Alice’s daily strain while pushing her story into darker, stranger territory, with black comedy, desperation, and menace crowding the same frame.
