Nov 5, 2017This falls under the unreliable narrator genre. Unremittingly grim and humorless. Grace, and women in general, are very badly treated. Slow and somewhat repetitive. The actress who plays Grace is excellent. The actor who plays the alienist is not. It is decent but not in the same ballpark as The Handmaid's Tale.

Alias Grace is discomfiting, compelling, deeply insightful television.
-
Polley’s script is sturdy, occasionally leaning too heavily on underlining Atwood’s themes to make sure they come across when viewers don’t have constant access to Grace’s inner monologue. But it’s Harron’s direction and Gadon’s performance that truly drive the work.
-
Harron has found an original cinematic language to convey Grace’s memories, a dream-like narrative propulsion that carries us along. ... Levi is Alias Grace’s only false note: he seems to have walked right off the set of Chuck without adjusting for the time-period here. Sarah Gadon’s performance is transfixing.
