Still Alice


Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children, is a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a diagnosis of Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested. Her struggle to stay connected to who she once was is frightening, heartbreaking, and inspiring.

This was a clear reminder of how good of an actress Julianne Moore can actually be.  She used to be amazing but then pretty much decided to mail it in for years.  She was great in this and so was the rest of the cast.  The family members different reactions to her disease and the progression of it felt so genuine. And watching her deteriorate was very tough and terrifying to imagine going through.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.  It's a great movie with great acting across the board that should end up getting considered for end of year awards.
