I saw "Alice Guy-Blaché" at the Texas International Film Festival in Austin last year, and it was a great movie experience. But I don't know if anyone really knows who Alice was. Her story is told through interviews with people who knew her. We hear from her and her boyfriend, Nick and her best friend. And we hear from the man who molested her, Graham Moore. The movie isn't particularly moving, and the story itself is a bit too simple for my taste, but the movie is well-made and well-acted. It was one of the best film experiences I've had.

I had a chance to see this documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was so well made and it really brought out the humanity of the women involved in this story. It was a beautiful story of love and commitment. The film is well made and it really does portray the women as they were and as they are. I really enjoyed this film and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the lives of these women. It's very well made and I think it is well worth seeing. I really enjoyed this film and I highly recommend it.

As mentioned in the opening of this film, one of the things that had me interested in the movie was the fact that it was shot in real life locations, a very telling contrast to the television coverage that so many of us are forced to sit through. As I listened to the acting of the actors, I was surprised to find that most of the actors seemed to have been involved in the same profession, and many had a particular subject to comment on. I found that both women and men seemed to be in agreement that if you do not want your friends to see you naked, that you must tell them you are ill, or something like that. This is true whether the victim of sexual assault is male or female. In the case of Alice Guy-Blaché, she had to tell her friends and family that she was paralyzed in a car accident. Several of her friends commented on how ridiculous this was, and she said, "How can you say you are paralyzed and then say that you are feeling better." This was an example of what I saw as the disconnect between these two points of view, and while the acting did not strike me as lacking any artistic merit, it left me with the impression that the actors may have been thinking of their career goals and in trying to be honest, that they were, in effect, trying to deflect the story of their behavior. However, this line of thought must be tempered with what I saw as a lack of true artistic value. It seems that many of the issues that people with disabilities face are not being explored in a respectful and enlightening manner. For example, as a female sexual assault victim myself, I can understand how one might feel uneasy when watching this film. However, I would ask that everyone considering watching this film to remember that this is a subject that has become more prevalent, and that it is not a matter of whether one will or will not talk about it, but rather, what you will do about it.

I started this documentary with the same surprise as everyone else. I was expecting an awful film but had no idea what I had been asked to watch. I thought about giving it a chance but then I decided that I'd better go see it. I was very pleased by the results. The documentary presented the facts of a very private lady and her story. It provided the audience with an interesting and interesting idea of how such a person must have been. It also presented the author, who's only thing was to tell this story. It also gave the audience the opportunity to learn some more about the person Alice Guy Blaché was. It was an extraordinary story and it was told with the utmost dignity and honor. The interviews were not a mere narration but very much involved in the subject. The documentary itself showed how a lady of great integrity, good qualities, social courage and friendship were the consequences of her mother's love. She was also able to relate with the young men of the time and to express the meaning of friendship. It was also very interesting how such a person was able to interact with other persons in a very friendly and informal manner. However, it is an important insight into the life of a lady who was an independent person in the face of adversity. The documentary should be viewed by the whole family. Parents and teachers should take their children to see this film to show them that it is not simply an amusement.

I just saw the film yesterday evening and for one of the first times ever, I was genuinely impressed with what I saw. Yes, the film was crude, gratuitous, just about every bad thing you can think of. But I left the cinema feeling refreshed about the world we live in. But, the point of this film is to highlight a great nation and the role that nature played in our past. Simply put, it shows how nature is a source of beauty for everyone of us and a source of threat. Throughout this film, we are shown pictures of wildlife throughout. One image that is haunting is a scene with a white wolf in a field. As soon as they go through the fence, there is no question that they are having a great time. From that moment on, they let their guard down, letting their aggression show. But, the scene is simply beautiful and moving. They turn around to run, only to have the wolf take them off their feet by pouncing on them. This is what nature is like, when it appears to be harmless and let's a few individuals have a little fun. Nature is doing the right thing. I also felt a lot of compassion for the animals that make up this land and just for their sake. That energy of natural beauty can be overlooked. Some of us have embraced this beauty in our everyday lives. But others of us have never taken the time to appreciate it. Why? Because it is only a symbol of what nature does and a side of our selves that we deny. The world doesn't need more movies like this. They can be boring, they can be flat, they can be harsh, but they can at least make a point. I hope that they encourage people to love and appreciate the natural world, because nature is beautiful and that it is our responsibility to protect it.

I really liked this documentary as a good representation of a very difficult experience for Alice Guy-Blaché. The producer, Cathy Davies, interviewed the person who was Alice's caretaker for 14 years, the doctor who handled her and her posthumous investigations. This person really understood the situation Alice was in and allowed her to write her story. She lived to tell this story and hopefully can bring some help to others suffering from the same condition.

Alice's mother is a suffragette, and is one of the earliest suffragettes of the women's movement in the United States. She was arrested for 'propaganda of the most dangerous kind', which is a criminal offense under the US Code of Penal Procedure. Under the Espionage Act of 1917, someone who publishes the information of a conviction in the United States or any other country could be subject to prison. In fact, the act was used as a cover to bring her and other important female suffragettes into criminal status in the United States. This film, with the help of the forensic evidence in the cases of some of the suffragettes, and providing insight into the life of the person they named, establishes the hard reality of Alice's mother's conviction. It is an incredible and compelling documentary, the kind that needs to be seen, the kind that must be made. The person it is about, Alice Guy-Blaché, is truly amazing, and her story and the experiences it forced her into are wonderful. It does not offer answers, but offers a path to a better understanding of her pain, her life, and her actions. The film's directors, Brian Johnston and Antoinette Snow, are a remarkable duo, and they're doing an incredible job with this project, which should win awards. This film is important, and an important contribution to an important topic.

Alice is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, because it's more than a film about Alice: it is about the struggle for acceptance, how a gay woman can express her sexuality and how society and the media at large don't allow her to achieve her goals. The problem is that this is so strong an important story it's hard to discuss. You have to see it to understand it. But you see it anyway, because you want to know what happened, you want to be able to relate to it and you want to be the first to tell someone about it. This is the power of this movie: it touches you, it causes you to question everything and to ask: "What is truth, justice and beauty?" If you take it as a movie, you're lucky. But if you take it as a documentary, this is more powerful: this is not your average Hollywood documentary, it's one of the rare documentaries that so strongly engages you, even if you know how this story will end, you feel how much it hurts to live life without acceptance and you feel the need to speak up about it. I've never seen anything like it, and if this doesn't inspire you to do something for your community, to make this issue a conversation in your society, then nothing will. If this doesn't inspire you to do something for your community, then nothing will. This is the story of how Alice Guy-Blaché became the iconic transgender woman we know today. This is the story of how an immigrant family makes it, how a person of colour and a Jew from Algeria got accepted and celebrated in New York City, and how they continue to make their way despite the bigotry that they face daily, and how you can not only be trans but to also be gay, bisexual and a woman, and how much harder is it to be accepted in the world. I want everyone to see this, be proud and be inspired.

I am a huge fan of the real life 'Alice Guy-Blaché' and I watched this documentary as part of an upcoming project to further my understanding of the fascinating woman who went into hiding after her husband (who she often considered her only living relative) was accused of murdering their daughter. The documentary wasn't completely all about her, but more of the investigation that was conducted in the days after the murders, especially the police efforts to find the person responsible. Most of the time the focus is on the three witnesses to the murders and the friends they made during their search for her. One of those witnesses was Roxy Dunbar (played by Melanie Griffith), who is now an acclaimed actress and a filmmaker. When the 'Zeroes' documentary was released, she did an interview with Alice Guy-Blaché (she had died of cancer prior to this), and she told how tough it was to find a job at the time and that she was concerned about getting too old and too sick for her son to go on a date with her daughter. The other witness (played by Patrick Stewart), was a lawyer who even went to jail for the murder of his wife, but didn't go to trial (which is not a surprise considering he was a strong defense attorney in the case). The third witness (played by the great Oscar-winner Jude Law), was a homeless woman who was found with an escape hatch from her apartment. She wasn't allowed to have contact with the outside world until her death, and ended up dying from pneumonia shortly after the case was solved. It was during these interviews that the documentary kept exploring the medical aspects of Alice's illness and that it was a nervous disorder (like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). There was also a lot of talk about how she wasn't crazy (at least she was until the real-life 'Alice Guy-Blaché' called in her sister in a desperate attempt to end her suffering) and was able to muster up the strength to leave her mental disorder behind for at least a little while. I have been a big fan of her since the early '80s, and watched the documentary to learn more about her. It was a good documentary, but it wasn't completely all about her, and it didn't completely cover the true story of her case.

It is one of the most critically acclaimed documentaries on the Discovery Channel, but Alice has been dismissed by the average viewer because the doc is a bit too focused on her clinical ambitions and her personal problems. But does it make it a bad documentary? Not really. There is no commentaries and no interviews with Alice's original doctors and other colleagues, they just say the facts about her story and that's it. Why does she have to be in such a documentary? Because it's part of her inner transformation, right? So, you're going to find it difficult to hold your tears when you see the documentary, but if you're a fan of Alice, this is definitely a good idea for you to watch this film. It is not a film that will bring you down with its content, but it is a good film for those who want to learn more about what makes a person who she is, especially the first time around. I think she is one of the most interesting person in our society, because she chose the way of her life that suits her, and what matters to her is not money, it's not fame, but she has lots of hope in life and she is not being criticized because of her health. Maybe, it is a good idea for a woman who has suffered from this diagnosis to see this doc, because she might be more inspired and inspired by her own personal journey. And for those who don't have the connection to this topic, I think it is a good idea to watch this doc and at least know that she didn't die of an illness, she died of a breakdown.

This movie tells of the untold story of Alice Guy-Blaché, a brilliant Canadian chef and innovator. In 1994, she started her new restaurant, The Pneumatic Hotel. She is an avid fan of culinary history and was inspired by this feature to look up any details in her own personal history that would be relevant. After a painstaking five years of research, she brought the complete story to life in a very relatable fashion. The quality of the documentary is entirely the result of Alice's passion. She becomes a very attentive narrator, focusing on the historic situations and anecdotes with great elegance and detail. This is a visual treat that brings the world of Alice Guy-Blaché to life.

I always wondered about the woman who became famous as a teenager, and never knew of her connection with a pop star. In the documentary that follows the life of Alice, the documentary maker Catherine Lacy appears and tells us that the film was made by a female filmmaker because it doesn't have any male actors in it. The documentary itself is highly enjoyable, but also it has some questionable subjects. As an American, I find it hard to accept the fact that a country where only two women have ever been elected President, and most of the music is produced by men is controlled by a man. I also find it very hard to accept that a country whose annual gross domestic product is the fourth highest in the world, and where the ratio of women to men is the lowest in the world, has a woman as President of the US. Of course, they need a woman to say "Women are welcome in the military!" I don't know if the country we live in is the right place to evaluate the way in which women are treated in the United States, but I guess that to this country we are better than to let things get out of hand. Catherine Lacy is an actor, and she uses her art to comment on some issues that I personally don't like. She has a very strong voice, but she doesn't reveal too much in her comments. She is also a good dancer, and she showed us that in this documentary. It was hard for me to accept that she has become famous not by her acting, but by her dance work. Anyway, I guess this is a very interesting documentary. Catherine Lacy, and Catherine Lacy, the director of Alice Lacy, was a very good choice for the movie.

Two things make this movie so very interesting. One, is the director, Joshua Bloom, who is clearly using his creative genius to tell a story, not a biography. And two, is the project, as an excellent set of photos on a famous school, including that of a famous cat. I think all those things are very important for telling a story and they make this movie very interesting. Mr. Bloom gives us so many different sources of inspiration from not just other photographers, but also from the four founders of the School: Glenn Gould, who created the iconic album cover for Nena, John Lennon, Gershwin and Robert Rauschenberg, and the students themselves. The photography, which is mostly hand-held, which would've been very difficult, but the actors and the actors giving their lines are able to make this film a more genuine, more reality based film. And when the film ends, the viewer is also able to see something the film has not told us: that there was a hidden meaning in the photography of the four founders. In fact, this is a very intriguing film, in the sense of what a filmmaker does to tell a story, but in the sense that the filmmaker, Joshua Bloom, who did it for his art, and not as a journalism job, has told a story which is interesting, powerful and revealing. And this is all thanks to the photographs in the film, which are so extraordinary that they are always interesting, and thus, useful, and so is the performance of the actors. Everyone, be it the first and second generations, will want to see this film, and I'm sure, this is one of the most important films of 2012. But be warned: It is worth it.

Alice, also known as Nia Guy-Blaché, was a practicing Catholic and was employed by a religious order in the UK. Alice spent much of her life studying and teaching, writing and practicing art with her husband, Father Aaron. They lived in the countryside, did all kinds of work and spent all of their time in Rome. At the end of her life, Alice died of kidney disease, but the media in London were quoted to have been in Italy the whole time. Alice died peacefully in her sleep and had no witnesses. Alice's voice, which may have been severely damaged by a stroke, was transmitted to be heard by other speakers, many of whom were Catholic and the same age as Alice. But the story of her death was just told. What was being hidden was never said.

I was amazed at the lack of positive reviews for this. As a scientist and lover of this tragic story, I feel I must add my voice. I have been researching this for about the past five years, and am still amazed at the lack of attention this story gets. No one has studied this story's roots. No one knows what really happened, who was involved, and why. No one knows what science might have contributed, or has contributed. This is a national treasure, and needs to be re-examined.

I've seen this film at a film festival and it was one of the best films I've ever seen. It was the most realistic and well-done documentary I've ever seen. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to know more about Alice Guy-Blaché. I was shocked to learn that this woman was so unknown and so much of her life was unknown to the world. The film was well-made and it was very well-acted. I think this is a very important film for anyone who is interested in Alice Guy-Blaché.

Some reviews here are saying this is a documentary.but the title says otherwise. The documentary title is how the movie was made, not what it is. The documentary is a well made documentary. In a way it is an indictment of how corrupt the police were in this city. The world now knows how police treated Alice Guy-Blaché. She had an African and French heritage, she did not speak English, had a white voice, and was abused for no reason. This is a very rare story. Most people are well aware of how illegal police searches are done today. They don't need a doc about Alice and Jean-Michel Blaché in 1986 to understand that. The movie does a good job of pointing that out. I have watched a few documentaries about this case and this one is one of the best. There is no political point, this is just a story. Alice and Jean-Michel were good people. They didn't deserve what they got. It is an inspiring story, it is a real story. 7/10.

This is a great documentary about the life and times of Alice Guy-Blaché. I love documentaries that show the "behind the scenes" of a documentary. This documentary shows the behind the scenes of Alice Guy-Blaché and how she was able to become the star she is today. The film is really informative, and has a lot of interesting facts and information about her life. The film is also really well made. The film is beautifully shot and edited. The film has a great sound track. The film is also well done and well edited. The film is well made, and it is a great documentary. The film is a must see. I would recommend this film to anyone who loves documentaries, or anyone who is interested in the life and times of Alice Guy-Blaché. I give the film a 9 out of 10.
