MiniBio

Alice Englert, a talented young performer with a natural flair for storytelling, began making waves in the entertainment world during 2012 and 2013. It was Alice Englert who stepped into the global spotlight through two strikingly different yet high-profile roles—the emotionally charged independent drama Ginger & Rosa (2012) and the sweeping fantasy film Beautiful Creatures (2013). These projects marked a turning point in Alice Englert’s career, transitioning her from relative obscurity to international recognition.

Born in Sydney, Australia, in 1994, Alice Englert grew up immersed in cinema. Her mother, none other than acclaimed filmmaker and Oscar-nominated director Jane Campion, played a major role in shaping Alice Englert’s early exposure to the art of filmmaking. Meanwhile, her father, Colin Englert, also carved his own path as a television director and served as second unit director on some of Campion’s most celebrated works, including The Piano (1993) and Portrait of a Lady (1996). This rich creative environment deeply influenced Alice Englert’s artistic development.

Much of Alice Englert’s upbringing took place in New Zealand, her mother’s home country, where she explored various forms of expression—music, writing, and theater. It was during long hours spent in her mother’s editing room that Alice Englert first felt the pull of narrative through performance. That inspiration led her to acting, beginning with a leading role in The Water Diary (2006), a short film directed by Jane Campion about the impact of drought. The project later became part of the larger anthology film 8 (2008), which brought together stories centered around the Millennium Development Goals. For Alice Englert, it was the start of a journey rooted in creativity, family legacy, and a passion for meaningful storytelling.

Trivia

When it comes to Alice Englert’s career highlights, one film really stands out as her highest-rated work—You Won’t Be Alone from 2022. Critics and audiences alike have praised Alice Englert’s performance in this atmospheric drama, marking it as a turning point in her filmography. On the other hand, looking back at her earlier roles, The Lovers (2014) received more mixed reactions, making it her lowest rated movie to date. While Alice Englert brought depth to every role she took on, it’s clear that her evolution as an actress shines brightest in her more recent projects. Still, each project, including that of The Lovers, contributed to Alice Englert’s growing reputation in the industry.
