Muntean's latest film is a portrait of a spoiled and recklessly
strong-willed young woman whose obstinate decisions threaten to
inflict immeasurable emotional and psychological damage on herself and
her family. An adopted child with uncertain ideas about intimacy, the
eponymous Alice first hides then flaunts her pregnancy, locking her
mother into a tumultuous struggle that at times seems to be a
strangely childish game, a clamor for attention, and at others a kind
of dark misanthropy. First-time actress Andra Guti brings a raw energy
to Muntean's understated but powerful study of the stark gap between
myopic parents and the youth whose addiction to cellphones and instant
emotions is a symptom of callous indifference to human relationships.
