Over the weekend I received the poster for Halle Berry’s Frankie and Alice and was also made aware of two clips from the film, which Freestyle Releasing is pushing to earn Berry an Oscar nomination this season.
The film is set for a limited release in New York and Los Angeles on December 17 before expanding wide on February 4 and tells the story of a young woman struggling with multiple personality disorder (Berry) who’s torn between who she is and a racist Caucasian alter-personality that preys upon her mind. Essentially, it sounds like Oscar bait from the director of White Noise and co-starring Stellan Skarsgard, Chandra Wilson and Phylicia Rashad.
Personally, I think the Best Actress category is too stacked for Berry to make a dent with a last minute feature, but have a look at the clips and see what you think.
