    In "Alice, Sweet Alice," divorced Catholic couple Dom and Catherine Spages' life is upended when their teenage daughter Alice is suspected of her younger sister Karen's brutal murder during her First Holy Communion and a series of stabbings follow. (Gary Reber)

    The 1.85:1 2160p HEVC/H.265 Ultra HD Dolby Vision/HDR10 picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed on Fuji 15mm film stock in Super 16 and sourced from a 4K master Digital Intermediate format sourced from the original film negative. Film grain is noticeable but generally smooth. The color palette exhibits saturated hue throughout, which cast strong tones on the various sets and objects within. Flesh tones are at times exaggerated with over saturated skin tones. HDR contrast is generally good. Black levels re deep and solid. Shadows are mostly revealing. White levels appear natural. Resolution is excellent with fine detail exhibited throughout, especially during closeups. Facial features are finely detailed. Objects appear nicely detailed. This is a very colorful presentation, but some aspects appear over saturated. (Gary Reber)

    The LPCM 2,0 monaural soundtrack was remastered from the original optical negative and delivers a generally satisfying experience. Dialogue is intelligible throughout with good spatial integration. The music score sounds compressed and strident. Bass extension is limited. And, of course, as a monaural soundrack the experience is dimensionalless. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
