I really like this movie, Frankie & Alice. In some ways, it reminds me of a mild Sybil. It's a movie on a woman with multiple personality disorder and shows how fragile our minds can be. The tragedies in one's life, especially in early age, can really have devastating effects. Luckily, Frankie has a "head doctor" who is interested in helping her. Sure, like most doctors, this also helps him with gaining on-hands experience with a patient having such an illness like Frankie. But, that's why a doctor should become a doctor - to care and learn.Frankie is a stripper with a past that has caused her to lose a lot of self-value. Over time, her repressed memory gives her a record of trouble and makes an apparent attractiveness to Dr. Oz to take her on as a patient. At first, Frankie is very resistant. But, after ending up in jail and fearing her sentence behind bars, she decides to accept her sentence in a "nut house" under the care of Dr. Oz. From there, they develop a beautiful bond of friendship and a life long of counseling.
My rating: 5 *****
Enjoy,
Your brother G2
