Multiple personality, huh? But, who are they?

Well, they're you. Your aspects of you. Your subconscious.

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.

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.

A drama centered on a go-go dancer with multiple personality disorder who struggles to remain her true self and begins working with a psychotherapist to uncover the mystery of the inner ghosts that haunt her.

Geoffrey Sax

Frankie &amp; Alice

The Three Faces of Francine

Geoffrey Sax&apos;s &apos;Frankie and Alice&apos; initially an to an extent follows a similar narrative structure to Nunnally Johnson&apos;s &apos;The Three Faces of Eve&apos;. While the theme of dissociative identity disorder has played a key part in many movies like &apos;Sybil&apos; (to name a few), I&apos;ve always found it a fascinating theme. &apos;Frankie and Alice&apos; isn&apos;t that different from the aforementioned films. I liked how Sax presents the 70s setting and how he captures the culture of that time period without going over the top. I also liked that this film does not merely focus on the patient but also on the therapist who&apos;s working hard to get to the root of Frankie&apos;s disorder. The best scenes are the interactions between her and Dr. Oz. Halle Berry makes a memorable comeback to films after a three year break. She is spellbinding in all three avatars and that too without having to rely on mimicry and makeup. Stellan Skarsgård is equally good in a subtle role. While &apos;Frankie and Alice&apos; doesn&apos;t present anything new regarding dissociative identity disorder, it&apos;s still an interesting character study (albeit a slightly dramatized one) and makes for a good watch.

The story of a go-go dancer with multiple personalities struggling to remain her true self while fighting against two very unique alter egos: a seven-year-old child named Genius and a Southern white racist woman named Alice. In order to stop the multiple voices in her head, Frankie works together with a psychotherapist to uncover and overcome the mystery of the inner ghosts that haunt her.
