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.

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!

Julianne Moore has to get the Oscar for this one! An incredible performance which she spills out her guts on screen.
An awful disease which can hurt an entire family's life later on.
I know a lovely couple that are in their late 50's and the husband was diagnosed with it over the past year or so. He has started to deteriorate and it is so sad to see. This movie reminded me of him having the same memory blocks Julianne's character had through the movie. I am going to mention about the GREEN HIGHLIGHTED pen to his wife as it's a fantastic idea for future time.
Just awful to think you lose all your lovely memories and don't know who they are the worst it gets.-(
A solid movie and I really do hope JM wins the Oscar.

Girlies let's talk! I honestly have nothing bad to say about this film. I work with Alzheimer's patients 5 days a week and this movie was a very accurate portrayal. It's a very sad topic obviously but this movie wasn't SAD. It was a celebration of life. Julianne really is exquisite and I am so glad she finally got her oscar. I am blown away and I hope future generations keep this film close to their hearts.

Heartbreaking, powerful, terrifying look at Alzheimer's. So real. Gut wrenching. Amazing turn from Julianne Moore.

i'm not even over my grandfather dying in my sophomore year of alzheimer's why the fuck did i watch this

alzheimer's is why i want to go to med school so watching this was so incredibly depressing. i've been pretty open with talking about it to the point where i had speech practice over it and i had the topic of "who matters most to you" during a practice and i literally started bawling talking about my grandfather and that was basically what i felt during the entire runtime!! i'm now terrified of the future but this was so heartbreakingly beautiful

Well that was fucking depressing.

Julianne Moore is absolutely terrific in this family drama. The gradual onset of Alzheimer's Disease and the impact on family life is painful to watch. Was it a loss that she failed in her attempt to take her own life as she originally promised herself? Perhaps so...leaving us with a fairly inconclusive ending.

The Good:
• Julianne Moore is absolutely superb in her performance. 
• The supporting performances are great as well with particular standouts being Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart.
• Heartbreaking brilliant written story about a disease that is sometimes overlooked in the wider world.
• Great direction throughout.

The Bad:
• I can't think of any really. It's a truly great film. Bring a lot of tissues as you will need them.

3 / 4

Was being taken off Netflix after today and heard lots about it previously so thought I'd watch it whilst it was still easy access. Very moving and emotional. Wasn't so keen on the ending, but it was obviously done like that for some reason
