  Julianne Moore is probably the most beautiful person who has ever lived on this earth.

  +1 to the list of films that I will never watch again...

  Edit: I found this to be an incredibly difficult experience. It's probably the most realistic look at Alzheimer's that I've ever seen, being so grounded in reality and incorporating contemporary themes such as the growing influence of technology on the world of health and medicine. As someone who had to stand by and watch and his grandmother deteriorate from Alzheimer's, I found this film emotionally stirring and relatable. And though I'm a big fan of Amour - it's almost certainly an even stronger piece of cinema than Still Alice - I think that this is a more, as I put it previously, "realistic" look at the disease. A very frightening film, and one that I will most likely never re-visit.

  Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★ 11

  More terrifying than any horror film out there! The subject of alzheimer's disease hits close to home as my mother had been diagnosed with it and is living in a memory care facility! The film got the audience up close and personal with the disease and you cry a tear or two but the good news is the audience can get up at the end and walk away from it pretty much unscathed! Families with loved ones affected by this devastating disease don't have that option! Extremely difficult subject matter that weighs heavily on my mind in more ways than one for one day I too could find myself suffering my mother's same fate!

  Julianne Moore's tour de force performance was absolutely phenomenal! While the film didn't delve deep enough into the abyss I applaud the film for showing the disease through the victims point of view!

  Review by sprizzle ★★★★ 1

  Damn, this movie is scary.

  The idea of having your mind slowly erased with no way to fight it, that's the stuff nightmares are made of. This isn't some science fiction horror film, this is something that is happening every day. Still Alice is a real and heartbreaking portrayal of a disease that shouldn't exist. Early onset Alzheimer's, one of the cruelest afflictions known to man. To quote Alice, "I wish I had cancer".

  That pretty much sums up how bad this disease can be. The movie does an excellent job of showing what it can be like living with or with someone who has been diagnosed. It's unpredictable and unfair, and turns even extremely bright minds into mush. Their…

  60/100

  Besides a heartrending, harrowing, and profoundly affecting performance from Julianne Moore; Still Alice is inevitably uninteresting. With awkward and poorly performed family dynamics, direction that falls into a category of elegant mediocrity, and a repetitive score; only Julianne Moore, strong supporting performances by Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart, and some quieter emotional beats save Still Alice from becoming completely bland.

  Review by CinemaCl🎃wn ★★★½ 6

  Championed by a truly memorable performance from one of the most beautiful, admirable & incredibly talented actresses of our time, Still Alice is a poignant, melancholic & heartbreaking drama that's neatly crafted & sensibly narrated but what truly makes it so emotionally resonant & visually engaging is the fabulous lead show by the lovely Julianne Moore.

  Based on Lisa Genova's novel of the same name, the story concerns a happily married linguistic professor with three children who finds out that she is suffering from an early onset Alzheimer's disease. The plot covers the struggle she & her family undergoes during the progression of the disease as she slowly begins forgetting words, locations & even her loved ones.

  Written & directed by Richard Glatzer & Wash Westmoreland, the film…

  Review by vitor ★★★½

  "I used to be someone who knew a lot. No one asks for my opinion or advice anymore. I miss that. I used to be curious and independent and confident. I miss being sure of things. There's no peace in being unsure of everything all the time."

  Our memories are perhaps our most precious possession. Even dead we can still exist in the memories of those we loved, and as long as we are not forgotten, we will continue to live. In Alice's case, her memory was indeed her most precious asset, it was her livelihood, her vocation and the reason for her professional success.

  Despite having Alzheimer's as a central theme, this film is much more of a "character…
