Reviews

mohamedmassoud-71470 STILL ALICE- 86% This is definitely a movie that will at least make you tear up once throughout. The story is quite upsetting and frightening because of how raw it is. Julianne Moore, as usual, did an amazing performance which really hit me deep. The cinematography was simple yet effective. A very well executed movie. Story wise and execution: 32.2/35 Acting: 24/25 Camera Work: 15/20 Sound: 15/20

jackVSjack I had this film for a long time before I watched it. When I heard about it I wanted to go see it. But knowing the subject matter I wasn't crazy about the certainty of crying non stop in the cinema.I don't personally know anybody that had or has Alzheimer's. So I can only view this film through my imagined idea of what it would be like to be part of a family that this terrible condition touches. From my narrow viewpoint I think that the cast and crew did a fantastic job in demonstrating in a more passive way how it affects the family. Their part of the story is important but the film doesn't go out of its way to over dramatise every possible conflict that will arise from living with someone that has Alzheimer's.I also felt and rightly so, that the more important point was to focus on Alice herself. Julianne Moore in my mind does a fantastic job in taking the viewer along with her.I passed over this film numerous times knowing how it would make me feel. Ever since I saw Iris I knew from past experience that this would be a difficult film to watch. While Iris brought a more turbulent narrative to the screen and reflected how monstrous and destructive Alzheimer's is. Still Alice offered an additional focus. How it can hit a younger person and how devastatingly quickly it can dismantle a mind.I have watched it now and can now recommend it to others. But I doubt I will ever watch it again.Not because it isn't an impressive piece of story telling! But because in the words of Chandler Bing. "It's like someone literally wrote down my worst nightmare and then charged me $32 to see it!"It is important for these stories to be told.

Mitra Daneshvar I felt so sad about the Alice and I cried a lot during the film. I liked it so much and think it is good for our parents to watch this film and be grateful about their health, but paradoxically I feel it will depress them a lot and may has a negative impact on older people, so I don't know o whom I can recommend it!

mattwilde123 'Still Alice' is a film that boasts a remarkable central performance from Julianne Moore. It tells the story of a University linguistics professor (Moore) as she is diagnosed a rare form of Auzheimer's disease.Richard Glatzer's direction of the movie can be viewed as a parallel to his own life and personal struggle as he lived with ALS disease. 'Still Alice' is full of emotive shots as the characters show care and support to Moore as she tries to continue juggling her career and family life with the disease. Aspects such as the music and cinematography is given a very straight-forward approach to allow the actors' performances to tell the story and to add a true to life direction.Based on the novel of the same name written by Lisa Genova, the screenplay is very faithfully adapted. The film really focuses on the story and the dialogue between the characters and some scenes and interactions are extremely moving thanks to how well it is written.Julianne Moore is perfect as the main character. She portrays her struggle with the disease with so much inner strength and dignity. Moore is supported by a solid cast such as Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart but are outshone by her brilliant performance.Overall, 'Still Alice' is a very good film. It is very touching and moving tale about coping with such a life changing and destructive disease. However, it seems to only be memorable due to Julianne Moore's incredible acting. I have given this film a final rating of 3.5 stars.
