will was the distance from the screen or perhaps the need to get inspiration sacrificed on the altar of the prestigious recognition, the fact is that Halle Berry has spared no expense to organize his comeback: used to enhance their bodies with increasingly conscious choices to meet the prudery of a film ever uncomfortable with an exposure subject to the will of God, money, and awareness of being confronted with a reputation sanctified by the unexpected victory of Hollywood, the 'gazelle actress became an entrepreneur herself and submit the entire production to the success of the character she played. All his service then, beginning with an alter ego effect guaranteed if it is true that the borderline personalities like Frankie Murdoch, a girl suffering from bipolar disorder, the audiences seem to be tuned on emotion as on that of jurors, and continuing with a buddy of snacks, Stellan Skarsgård in the psychiatrist, both professional and economical to avoid the limelight of a situation in which the dialectic doctor / patient must necessarily be in favor of the second and finally a director Carneades, that Geoffrey Sax, capable of dropping any initiative modeled on the desires of his divine photogenic. The result is an endless series of scenes in which the parent sequence of doublings schizophrenics (Frankie becomes Alice) alternates to the yearning for a destiny apparently already decided. Set in the 70 more to justify racism ahead of the tragedy that philological grounds (the story parrebbe ispirata ad una storia vera), il film latita anche nella ricostruzione del panorama storico, affidato esclusivamente alla presenza di brani musicali inconfondibili, ai pantaloni a zampa di elefante ed alla vaporosa capigliatura della protagonista. Eccessivamente castigata anche quando non sarebbe richiesto, vedasi il prologo in cui Frankie ancora ignara di quello che l’attende si esibisce come stripper in un locale per soli uomini con la telecamera che mantiene lontana dall’oggetto del proprio desiderio, la Berry satura la scena con una performance così paradigmatica da annullare qualsiasi effetto sorpresa e toglie al personaggio con delle scelte quanto meno discutibili -la schizofrenia è resa in maniera così bonaria da uniformare le opposte tendenze- quel minimo di empatia capace di tenere desto l’interesse. Uscito in America alla fine di dicembre per alimentare le speranze di un eventuale candidatura della sua star, "Frankie & Alice" non ha fatto fatica a rientrare nei ranghi di un anonimato ampiamente giustificato.
