Dani and Alice

Review
Dani & Alice
Dir: Roberta Marie Munro/USA-Canada 2005/12 mins

This film deals with woman-to-woman partner abuse. Dani is angry after a night out with Alice, and fuelled by insecurity and acting on impulse, attacks Alice in an unthinkable scene of harrowing physical violence. This sensitive subject is conveyed with deep insight, and acknowledges Alice’s poignant dilemma of dealing with the shock of being hurt, alongside a profound loyalty to protect her ‘black, butch’ lover from the police. Both Lisa Branch (Dani), and Yolanda Ross (Alice) are stunning to watch in this fleeting film that leaves you shaken up and sore. Even so, Dani & Alice addresses an important theme that is not to be ignored.
