Sometimes the hardest thing to see is the truth.
Pushed to the breaking point by Simon, her psychologically abusive boyfriend, Alice becomes an unwitting participant in an intervention staged by her two closest friends while on vacation. As she rediscovers the essence of herself and gains some much-needed perspective, she slowly starts to fray the cords of codependency that bind her. However, Simon's vengeance is as inevitable as it is shattering, and once unleashed, it tests her strength, her courage, and the bonds of deep-rooted friendships.

**By: Louisa Moore / www.ScreenZealots.com** _This film was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival_ Having experienced a close friend stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship,” Alice, Darling” really hit home.
