The character design of the entities Alice encounters—known as "The Echoes"—draws heavy inspiration from Jungian archetypes. They are faceless, shifting figures composed of static and floating text, representing the volatile nature of repressed memories. This artistic choice ensures that the world feels alive, unpredictable, and deeply hostile, yet strangely poetic.
The film is not merely a tale of a woman at sea; it is a psychological exploration of her personal odyssey.
While one critic at The Arts Fuse called it "obsessively sexual" and suggested the intellectualizing about desire left the film "cold," another felt that Lucie Borleteau delivered a "strong, conscious, intense movie, between naturalism and the metaphorical". Fidelio- Alice-s Odyssey

Lucie Borleteau makes a strong directorial debut with this film, choosing a realistic, almost documentary-like approach to life on the ship, interspersed with the intimate, often raw emotional life of its protagonist.
Alice spends much of the film in a state of undress or domestic reflection, yet she holds the intellectual power. She deconstructs Bill’s ego with ease.
As Alice navigates this strange new world, she encounters a cast of eccentric characters, from the enigmatic Cheshire Cat to the tyrannical Red Queen. Through her adventures, Alice undergoes a transformation, evolving from a naive and impressionable child to a confident, self-assured individual, capable of navigating the complexities of the adult world.
The emotional climax of the project occurs in the deep dungeon where Florestan is starved in darkness. In Alice’s Odyssey , this dungeon is reimagined as an existential void. Florestan’s famous aria, "Gott! Welch Dunkel hier!" (God! What darkness here!), plays alongside visual motifs of the Cheshire Cat's vanishing grin. Here, the project explores the psychological terror of isolation. The cat's philosophical nihilism directly challenges Florestan's desperate search for truth.
