Quotes
Frankie Murdoch:
Multiple personality, huh? But, who are they?
Oz:
Well, they're you. Your aspects of you. Your subconscious.
Frankie Murdoch:
Okay, but why?
Oz:
That's what we'll have to find out.
Frankie Murdoch:
So, what you're saying is, I got all these different... people living inside of me, right? But, I don't know who they are.
Oz:
Well, we all have different personalities and different selves. "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes." It's Whitman.

This film is about a young black woman called Frankie, and her struggle to make sense of her multiple personality disorder while having treatment in a psychiatric facility.
I am impressed by Halle Berry's acting in this film, as she breezes through three vastly different personalities. The amazing finale on the psychiatrist's couch is quite breathtaking, both plot wise and acting wise.
The film is engaging and gripping throughout, and it is hard not to be sympathetic towards Frankie as her painful past is revealed through a series of flashbacks. "Frankie and Alice" is a very good drama that creates much empathy and resonance.
