I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
My wife and I are 73 and neither of us has Alzheimer's or cancer; however, we have experienced these diseases in our immediate family. I am a retired, forgetful university professor which made the movie even more engaging! While this movie is probably not worthy of an Oscar nomination, it was very enjoyable and worth the time to watch. Dame Judy Dench and Donald Southerland gave very credible, wonderful and warming interpretations of the characters as would be expected. We very much enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to older adults.
STILL ALICE was a film with something profound to say about Alzheimer's and suicide. This film is facile and fatuous compared with that one. The critics raved about the mercy killing of the paraplegic in MILLION DOLLAR BABY. Handicapped access laws had been the bane of hotelier Clint Eastwood's existence. That is why he made a film glorifying offing the wheel chair handicapped, whom he loathed. Suicide can be the answer to everything and anything, I suppose....
This movie was long and drawn out and just terrible. The fact that they were hell bent on going on this trip was pure foolishness, and someone with dimentia to that degree would not be able to even drive, let alone drive a vehicle of that size. And Helen's character was constantly upset and didnt enjoy one second of the trip. It was upsetting to watch, and even more upsetting was the way it ended, I was just sick and shocked over it. No thanks, we dont want this for our seniors in America! It was disgusting! I'm sorry I even saw this movie.
I eagerly watched this film recently with my wife, largely due to the two lead actors. My wife and I are both advancing in years and have a long term marriage of nearly 40 years so we have some commonality with the characters in the film. We were very disappointed. These characters were not even close to believable. I found the wife's character domineering, manipulative and selfish but presented as if she were caring and compassionate. The actions of the husband where totally unbelievable. Not even close to reality and he could not possibly function in the way he was presented. This wasn't fiction so much as disrespectful fantasy. I was staggered that two such fine actors could allow themselves to be placed in a film that, far from celebrating a couples life and love, simply worked to the current political agenda. I have seen other films treat similar themes with much more dignity and respect.
