​"Still Alice" serves as a profound mechanism of empathy, immersing viewers into the harrowing journey of Dr. Alice Howland's battle with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Julianne Moore's portrayal is nothing short of outstanding, capturing the nuanced decline of a brilliant mind with authenticity and grace. The film's direction and editing are executed with precision, presenting a narrative that is both educational and deeply moving. Supporting performances, notably from Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart, complement Moore's lead, enriching the story's emotional depth. While undeniably heart-wrenching, "Still Alice" transcends mere tragedy, offering viewers an opportunity to cultivate empathy and understanding for those affected by such conditions.

Great acting, but could be triggering if you have a loved one with Alzheimer's. Very realistic, and almost too sad at times, but worth watching if you're in the mood for a reflective piece.

Not my usual watch but saw it on a flight and was blown away! Very heart wrenching sad. Would recommend it to anyone

Very poignant, very scary.

Often a movie is so bad it's depressing, but Still Alice is so good that it is depressing. This film treats early onset Alzheimer's with humanity and dignity and Julianne More, who won a best acting Oscar as Alice, and Kristen Stewart are stellar in their respective roles. Alex Baldwin and the rest of the cast also turn in strong performances. So make some popcorn and prepare to be depressed. It is well worth it!

**Still Alice** is a heartfelt and emotional film that tackles the challenging topic of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Julianne Moore is incredible as Alice Howland, a successful linguistics professor who starts losing her memory at just 50. She captures Alice's journey with raw honesty, showing the fear and frustration as her condition worsens. The film does a great job of portraying the impact of Alzheimer's on both Alice and her family, with strong performances from Alec Baldwin as her husband and Kristen Stewart and Kate Bosworth as her daughters. However, some parts of the movie feel a bit slow, and the story can be heavy-handed at times. Overall, **Still Alice** is a moving and thought-provoking film that stays with you long after it’s over, making it worth a watch. I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 5.

has beautiful deep hints, but very dull

There's no point to the film except to demonstrate that Alzheimer's is indeed a terrible illness. As to Moore's performance, yeah I suppose she deserved the Oscar, but I think this will always be remembered as a "lesser" role in a filmography that boasts some of the best acting of the last 30 years.

La película fue marillosa historia excelente, pero el éxito de la protagonista dio lo mejor, pero la verdadera historia fue muy triste, de verdad lucho lo que pudo para no estar vencidos en la enfermedad

Julianne Moore embodies the character Dr. Alice Howland, an established, celebrated, intelligent author and professor of linguistics teaching at Columbia U. Watching her learn she had a rare genetic form of Alzheimer disease rapidly progressing is heartbreaking. This film did an amazing job walking us through the painful process of losing the neurological health required to possess and properly manage the memories that affirm and validate our identity, and so much of who we are or need to be on a second by second and day to day basis. The story is so relatable because this situation is one any one of us could find ourselves in. Tear jerker for sure.

This is one of the scariest films I've ever seen and it's not even a horror.

The elegance and passion with which the story is delivered are top-notch. Unfair struggling between who you were and who you are, unwanted changes and overcoming the fear of forgetting first yesterday's dinner and last the distant memory of walking down the coast when you were a child then. The film upvotes not only the concern of Alzheimer's but the deep reflection upon long-forgotten memories that were a part of our lives. Julianne Moore delivered her best and was rightfully honoured.

A fantastic turn by Moore as a woman who has everything stripped away from her, can't quite save this movie from being a bit of a slog at times.

As a psychology graduate who always contemplates the mysterious inner-workings between our psyche and our brain, this movie provides a gut-wrenching yet splendidly depicted account of what happens when the harsh physical reality fails us. Due to a genetic disorder, the protagonist Alice - a middle-aged, well-educated woman - suffers from early onset Alzheimer's disease and gradually loses her job, memory and self-catering ability. What makes it even more tragic is the fact that she was a professor at a pretigious univeristy before the disease, with a successful career and family life. Therefore losing her mind is particularly agonizing for an intellectual like her. The movie prowls through how she deals with the slowly debilitating disease and how her colleagues and family react to it. Eventually, she loses her self-identity and does not remember who she was, and uses a diary to remind herself of the past, hence the movie title. Without much drama or action, this is surely not for adrenaline junkies. But for those interested to witness first hand what would happen when our soul is slowly taken away, this piece provides a superb narrative for the audience to empathize.

Julianne Moore has long been one of our finest actors and "Still Alice" shows she was in fine form again as she won a long deserved Oscar for the performance. The film avoids the trappings of melodrama a tv movie would dwell in. It concentrates on the effect of Alice's debilitating illness on her and the family. Her crumbling sense of self and and fear innate in that state is visceral and up front. Strong supporting cast work from the likes of Baldwin, Stewart, McRae and Bosworth. Nicely done by writers/directors Westmoreland and Glatzer. 3.3 stars

This movie is visceral, but not because it's needlessly gory. It's visceral because it rips your emotions apart. I lost my grandmother and great grandmother to dementia a few years ago, something that I haven't recovered from. The first heartbreaks of my life came from my great grandmother not remembering my name before anyone else in my family, or my fiery Southern grandmother not being able to walk down the stairs on Christmas, or both of them forgetting how to swallow. This movie encapsulates all of that and more that I hadn't even thought about, since I was fairly young when my grandmothers started getting sick. Julianne Moore does an incredible job throughout the stages of the disease and it's very clear she did her homework. The other cast members, especially Kristen Stewart and Alec Baldwin (two actors I'm notorious for disliking), are great at showing off the reaction to the entire situation and how many different directions that reaction can go. Overall, very well made!

Julianne Moore puts on an incredible performance as Alice, a highly educated woman who just after her fiftieth birthday, begins forgetting simple things and discovers she in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease. This is heartbreaking watching her character deteriorate and the effect that it has on her husband and kids as well. Excellent cast featuring Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth and Kristen Stewart.

Story wise this is just your typical disease-of-the-week Lifetime 온라인카지노추천 movie type thing. A middle-aged woman gets Alzheimer's; and both she and her family are left flailing in the wind as they are unprepared to deal with this issue...etc... I think Family Ties did a much more probing examination of the devastation a family feels when one member gets Alzheimer's back in 87. What knocks this out of the park though, is Julianne Moore's absolutely devastating portrayal; showing with stunning verisimilitude the deterioration of a brilliant middle aged English professor Dr. Alice Howland; as she slowly slides from a Phi Beta Kappa with articulate brilliance down into the lowest depths of dementia and then mental oblivion. (The movie is kind of like Charlie and Awakenings that way). Watching Moore go from an uptight, fiercely independent academic; to a severally mentally handicapped woman; a child essentially; who is at the mercy of her own children; and whose own children cruelly turn her away at the ending; watching all this will break your heart. This is another feather in the cap for Academy Award winner Moore; and another impressive addition to her brilliant ouvre. Kristen Stewart does nice work too as her plain, and unpretentious but loving daughter who saves her at the ending. Not a stunning or original story but still very moving; still very nice acting all around. Recommended.

Julianne Moore shined with her performance in this one, and it took me a couple movies to really like her but this is her best work imo. The family dynamics, progression of her disease, the emotional stakes, the way it was shot with quality cameras, all of it really made the movie work for me and it felt authentic! There are also certain scenes where you think something might go wrong and it doesn't, yet in other scenes things go wrong when you don't think they will, and that is how you surprise an audience with well-sequenced scenes and story-telling. While some things could've been changed to make this an even sadder and more tragic film (like actually killing off the main character like it teased quite a few times), it's still an undoubtedly quality piece of work!

The best acting performance from Julianne Moore!
