Still Alice

To make a movie, where the story is very predictable, is a big challenge in order to make the movie worth watching. Here it is very clear, that Julianne will become more and more affected by her Alzheimer decease.

When I first saw the trailers for Still Alice all I thought of was "well, Oscar bait." It had all the signs of such a film.

These medical films are always a little too sappy for my taste. Julianne Moore's acting is really what carries the film and it's amazing to watch her.

"Still Alice" is deceptively simple it even seems to descend into a public service announcement on Alzheimer's Disease at times, including the Oscar-winning Julianne Moore as the eponymous Alice delivering a lecture on the effects of dementia on the character. It's, of course, a tearjerker by the end, too.

When we are in our full power to think and act, we forget that we will reach old or that suddenly a enferemedad, to remove us everything we have saved so much love. I always thought that only what you have in your mind is the only thing you wore when you die, but there are people who take nothing.

To me, this movie was very cold, cold, cold. Her family constantly complains about her illness, makes fun of her, doesn't help and leaves her out of family moments.

I hadn't particularly wanted to see this film as I couldn't imagine anything more depressing for this 68-year-old reviewer than watching a movie about the onset of Alzheimer's.Anyway, I saw an interview with Julianne Moore in which she claimed the movie wasn't at all sad….

Julianne Moore was (...) in this movie, I don't have an adjective to describe her performance.
