This movie is incredibly real


and beautifully done. The characters are real people taken from real life families. It's almost as if we are watching a documentary.
Yes, adultery is presented as another part of married life in this slice of life film. No one is a villain. We are looking into a window of Alice's house and seeing life as it really is. Great directoring and acting, especially by lead actress.

Yep. This is the first non-documentary shot by director Chico Teixeira, but still you can clearly see his roots as a documentarist.
A Casa de Alice plays at times almost like a documentary film because of its minimalism and realism.
