In the movie Alyce Kills (2011) there are many deliberate references to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

A few off the top of my head:

  • She has a white rabbit statue when she is getting high
  • Her visits to the drug dealer are obviously a reference to the tea party with the Mad Hatter
  • One of the drug dealers is always asleep and is named "Mouse"
  • The song "Go Ask Alice" is heard playing
  • She is heard saying "Off with her head" which is a quote from the Queen of Hearts
  • And last but not least, her friend's name is Carroll Lewis, Lewis Carroll backwards

Given the many references and even a deliberate use of names, it makes me wonder if there is a specific reason that they decided to spell Alyce with a Y instead of Alice with an I like in the book.
