Still Alice
Still Alice has been called Julianne Moore's Oscar worthy performance and with great reason. It follows the story of Alice Howland, a successful professor of Linguistics at Columbia University. Her life takes a sharp and devastating turn when she is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. With the help of her family which includes her daughters played by Kristen Stewart and Kate Bosworth and Alec Baldwin as her husband, she struggles and fights for what she is losing and continue a relatively normal life.
I am going to be honest, I was in tears after the first 10 minutes and stayed that way until the rolling credits. I do not have anybody in my family with this disease, but I felt immense empathy for Moore's character. That is when you know you have done your job as an incredible actress. That being said, with a great supporting cast and story line, it is incredibly depressing to watch and individual's life fall apart in this way. It was a beautiful and eye opening film, but definitely a one time watch. What did you think?
