Finally, after what seems like a lifetime ago, Halle Berry’s Frankie & Alice is being released. In 2010, Berry along with the remaining cast attended a big Hollywood premiere for the film but oddly enough, the movie never received a nation-wide theatrical release. Now, four years later, it is here!
Lionsgate describes the film in a release saying:
“FRANKIE & ALICE” is inspired by the remarkable true story of an African American go-go dancer “Frankie” with multiple personalities (dissociative identity disorder or “DID”) who struggles 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 (Halle Berry) works together with a psychotherapist (Stellan Skarsgard) to uncover and overcome the mystery of the inner ghosts that haunt her.”
As for Berry, she can’t wait for fans to see her latest work…
“‘Frankie & Alice’ is an emotionally compelling film that I cannot wait for audiences to finally see. I am extremely proud of the film because it focuses on the very real issues of mental illness, and it is my wish that Frankie Murdoch’s story will give hope and support to those struggling.”
Frankie & Alice is due to hit theaters on April 4. Will you be watching? – ruthie hawkins/@ruubabie
