Alpha
Alpha, a troubled 13-year-old lives with her single mom. Their world collapses the day she returns from school with a tattoo on her arm.
Audience Sentiment
The disease nightclub
Panic attacks and isolation
A dramatic recovery from the film's most bewildering middle section to the visually stunning disease nightclub sequence that reminded critics of Ducournau's unique talents
Alpha starts promisingly with its intriguing premise and family dynamics, but loses critics in a confusing and oppressive middle act before recovering with striking body-horror sequences. Despite transcendent visual moments and strong performances, the film ultimately disappoints with its incoherent narrative structure.
