This film is certainly not a feminist film. It is the opposite. It is an anti-feminist film, which is a good thing.

Alexandra's project is suspensful, visually engaging and skillfully illustrates a terrifying example of what happens in the ordinary experience of marriage when one party feels trapped, exploited and unable to express themself. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Alexandra's Project works for me strictly as a source of entertainment. There is a 'plot' such as it is, and characters that are well-played by the main actors, as confirmed by the fact that the film's action was able to hold my close attention throughout. But the plot has a major flaw, in failing to justify the actions of the wife. During the film there is the constant knawing question: Are the wife's actions in any way justified by the actions of the husband. For me, the answer is no. And if there are genuine reasons for her dissatisfaction, she made no apparent effort to discuss them with her husband. That being the case, I can only conclude that there are mental issues that make the wife far less simpathetic than she might otherwise be. For me, the film is rare, in having a severely flawed plot, but still interesting enough to watch in its entirety.
