    James And Alice Movie Review: More Than A Love Story

    James And Alice Story James is an artist, who is extremely passionate about his career. He is a free bird, who lives the life in his terms. Alice is a banking professional. James and Alice fall in love and marry, without the consent of their families. The couple is soon blessed with a baby girl. The movie focuses on the issues happen in the James and Alice's marital life and how they overcome them.

    Cast & Performance The character James is a cakewalk for the lead actor Prithviraj. He effortlessly portrays the transitions of a free-spirited young man, into a responsible family man. Vedhika, who plays Alice, has improved a lot as an actress and looks simply gorgeous onscreen. The rest of the star cast, including Parvathy Nair, Saikumar, Vijayaraghavan, Manju Pillai, Sudheer Karamana, Kishore Sathya etc have played their respective parts to near perfection. Script And Direction Sujith Vasudev makes a decent debut as a director and proves that he is here to stay. He has tried to bring out a different narrative style to the not-so-fresh theme, which is commendable. Dr. S Janardhanan's screenplay lacks a strength in the first half and fall into slow pace; but such negative factors are resolved by the thrilling, emotional second half and a crispy.

    Technical Aspects Sujith Vasudev has created a mind-blowing visual treat for the audiences, with his excellent cinematography. Editing by Samjith is not up to the standards, as the movie lags throughout the first half and is a bit too lengthy

    Music Gopi Sundar's songs are just okay and fail to make a mark. But,, as usual, the National award-winner scores with his fantastic background score.

    Verdict A beautifully crafted love story with a message. Expect a surprise..!!!

    James & Alice ****FDFS Review*** A very good watch...

    James is an orphan and an artist without a steady job. Alice belongs to a wealthy family and whose father objected to his daughter getting married to a person without, what society considers as, stability. They decide to get married anyway and the marriage ends up compromising both of them as James have to settle for directing low grade commercials while being not all that happy with his life overall. The film begins in the present with them having a kid aged 6 years and their marriage in crisis. The backstory is told through flashbacks during the first half.

    Sujith Vasudev is the latest in following the Malayalam cinema trend of cinematographers becoming directors. Usually they follow a visual way of telling a story and gives less importance to script. James and Alice is not such a case as, even though the visuals are striking, the story is largely told through the spoken language. Film deals with a subject and presented in a style that is quite hard normally to pull off but it manages to do so quite effectively. There is enough clues in the trailer to suggest that an accident is involved as a pivotal point and it happens just before the interval. This is where Sujith Vasudev, the cinematographer, shows off his skills. The second half of the film takes a turn which is quite familiar for Malayalees now after the success of Renjith's 'Pranchiyettan & the Saint'. It is then a look back at their life and how things could have been.

    The best thing about the film is that you don't get a binary portrayal of the chief protagonists like in most Malayalam/Indian films. The first half is done in such a style that audience will find both James and Alice to be quite culpable for the way their state of marriage is in. Since it is told largely from the perspective of James, we might feel that he is quite hard done by Alice. But this works well in the second half as it is kind of told from the other side even though we still sees it through James' eyes albeit with the intervention of a third person. The accident takes place while they are on the verge of a divorce and even during the divorce proceedings it is as if James is willing it to happen even though it is Alice who is taking the initiative.

    Overall it is a very good watch which deals with a subject matter that is very less dealt with well by Malayalam films. There is enough complexity to it characters to make them appear three-dimensional. The second half of the film could have very well turned out to be very preachy but there is enough cynicism from James to make it appear as if it is not. At close to 165 minutes, it is quite longer than it should be by about 20 minutes. The first two or three songs in it were helpful in moving the story forward but the ones that follow are quite problematic during the second half as we start to feel the length of the film. The background music is also quite overbearing at times but the theme music used in the trailer is quite good. The performances from all concerned are surprisingly excellent even though Prithviraj is still playing his normal smug mode in the first half. It will be box office success if the family audience takes to it which they should do, ideally.

    James and Alice which marks the directorial debut of Sujith Vasudev, one of the most popular cinematographer in M-Town at present reached theatres today. S Janardhanan has penned the script for this romantic family drama. Sujith Vasudev himself has cranked the camera. Music is by Gopi Sundar. The movie starts with a ‘mature love story’. James is a graduate in fine arts. He falls in love with Alice, the daughter of a planter.

    Both of them marry without their parents consent and start their new life. The rest of the story is about their life after marriage and how some problems affect their married life. Sujith Vasudev has made a decent debut through James and Alice. The movie keeps you entertained from start to end and also leaves a very good message behind. S Janardhanan has done a good job with the script. The movie is filled with the correct essence’s. The frames by Sujith Vasudev are beautiful as always. It turns out to be one of the biggest positives of the film. Music by Gopi Sundar sinks with the mood of the film. He’s contributed well with the BGM and the romantic tracks. Coming to the performances, Prithviraj is superb as James.

    The posture, expressions, dialogues, all fit the character very well. Vedhika also comes up with a fantastic performance as Alice. The rest of the cast that includes Sai Kumar, Parvathy Nair have given memorable performances. Altogether James and Alice is a good romantic family drama which will attract both youngsters and family audience to the theatres.
