About this movie

Alice (Keke Palmer) yearns for freedom as an enslaved person on a rural Georgia plantation under its brutal and disturbed owner Paul (Jonny Lee Miller). After a violent clash with Paul, she flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon discovering the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and the promise of Black liberation. Inspired by true events, Alice is a modern empowerment story tracing Alice's journey through the post-Civil Rights Era American South.

Ratings and reviews

It's similar to Antebellum, somewhat farfetched, but I gave it 4stars because I love these payback movies and Keke Palmer with an afro was the epitome of a Nubian Queen ✨

blaxplotation film that suffers with incompatible narratives ... absurb plot jumps and unexplained morals ... soundtrack could win an oscar though ... go Common!

I really loved this movie. It reminded me of "The Village" and "Antebellum." Great performances. It doesn't surprise me that this movie was based on a true story. Revenge can sometimes be very sweet.
