You don't have to be a great salesman or a nominated movie star to be happy. But... you don't have to lose yourself in the illusion of happiness either. Always try to understand your situation, what's real and what's an illusion. Enjoy the illusion, but have both feet on the ground. This movie tries to depict this idea in a beautiful, well directed and well played comedy.
So, why give this a 9 and not 10? Well... First of all, the idea is literally explained and the viewer doesn't have to think so hard to understand it. Second, some action is missing... this is the 21s't century... Anyway - It is a great movie.
Plot summary
'Who is Alice' carries us on a darkly funny, compelling and sometimes cringe worthy journey into the highs and lows of what human beings will do to try to avoid pain and connect to happiness. Alice is a 35 year old actress desperately hanging on to her 'new young thing' career. She is willing to sacrifice almost everything in order to reach the top and this mind-bending story takes us down the rabbit hole with her. Alice meets Dick, a car salesman who is disillusioned with life and dreaming about becoming a spiritual teacher. Together with a renegade cast of misfit characters they hilariously and awkwardly tie themselves in knots as they find their 'way'. And where does that 'way' lead them? ... To exactly where they are supposed to be. 'Who is Alice' uses humor guided by the a little non-dual thinking to help us look at ourselves and life in a different way. If the insight strikes, your whole perspective can change, while 'in reality' nothing has to change.

Simply brilliant!
The actors did an excellent job to the point where I totally forgot I was watching a movie, I've got totally absorbed. The most profound truths are dished out with tremendous ease here though there's alway the rational minime trying to make sense of the intangible. This is a great movie for those interested in spirituality and healing!

Characters that act as if they are in a children's program
To be fair I only watched the first half hour, since by then I was convinced I was watching something awful. Some of the "supporting" characters are caricatures, whose performances would be more suited if played opposed Tinky Winky and Laa-Laa. If it's meant to be a comedy...well, I didn't laugh the whole first half hour...
