Still Alice is most certainly one of the most difficult movies I've watched in recent times. Not because I've had people close to me suffer from this terrible disease, but because overall, this family story, which could be relatable to others, really pulled me in and had me in shreds after all was said and done. Julianne Moore truly shines in this role, as she immerses us in her unfortunate situation. To watch a person go from incredibly smart and confident to confused and lonely is not only heartbreaking, but it also gives you a sense of hopelessness. But as Alice herself tells us in a speech during the film, we must not forget that the person we know and love is still there and that the happy moments do count for something. Finishing up, I found this movie to be an incredible experience, truly respectable of people who suffer from Alzheimer's. Talking movie terms, it's the incredible performance from Julianne Moore that is, front and center, the movie in all its brilliance, whilst also featuring some very good performances, from the secondary cast, to support it.
