Pretty Good

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is a beautiful film. I was blown away by emotional performances of the actresses. Alice has had a nice and happy life before she gets Alzheimer, which rips everything that she has acquired through her life from her. The disease leads to her uncomfortable life, and she is not able to be like her. That is the thing we are the most afraid of. I t is important for us to live by ourselves independently and like our selves. Alice gets to have a weak recognition about who she is and people around her, which makes her suffer from it. However, the most stunning scene is the warm support from her family in this hard situation. No matter how worse Alice's condition is getting, they always stay with her. I was impressed with her family. Besides, this film uses a beautiful representation of a butterfly as a short life, which reminds us of a short life as same as Alice. Meanwhile, the camera work is reflected by Alice's condition. As she got worse, the monitor gets vague. We can see things as same as Alice. The last scene also moved my heart.

Two reasons, pushed me to watch the movie - Incomplete achievement "Highlights 2015 Oscars", and, in fact, the very same Oscar for the main female role, which went to Julianne Moore.Movies about bodily ailments are always incredibly piercing and watch them simply impossible. Sometimes awareness of the problem prevails over the artistic value of the tape and hides all the shortcomings. "Still Alice" - оne of these and tells us the story of very smart woman who was struck by Alzheimer's disease.The game of actors, led by Julianne Moore, is quite worthy of attention. I must admit, her heroine came out theatrical-exemplary. From manners and movement, to extinction, blunt points of view, gray eyes and phlegmatic mood.It would be very interesting to see how the personality is destroyed by the deposition of amyloid in the brain, but instead we were given a tape with mediocre dialogs, not remembered. The film is full of a lot of secondary moments, which could be abandoned, making the narrative less tractable. So, the action on the screen and the dialogues are realistic, there is no doubt that everything that happens, but the work of art itself turned out to be boring and uninteresting. Psychologically the film is much weaker than others about people with disabilities.As a result, the film is interesting, although not the best. It is quite suitable for viewing alone or with loved ones.

As a person with a neurological disease, and the daughter and grand daughter/caregiver of tow that suffered from Alzheimer's disease, I have to debate just a bit on one comment left here. While this movie is Hollywood, the story and cast did try to make things somewhat realistic and brought some attention to the disease. People do get a glimpse of the beginning stages of Alzheimer's, I don't think anyone is ready to watch the true heartbreak of the end result. The idea behind the movie was the impact on Alice and then her family, this could have been explored more, but it is a 2 hour movie. I was glad they stuck with Julianne's character and the digression into her past, which is of course what happens. The moment of the left suicide instructional video when Alice could not follow the simplest of instructions, shows the disease and how debilitating it is, even early on. The secondary characters, were just that, secondary and what are they supposed to do? In this respect, the movie hit a home run..absolutely. The question being "What do we do with her now and who cares what Lydia thinks?" I was impressed that one of the family members (like myself) choose to alter their lives and care for someone who ultimately has no idea who they are.The end, well..if you saw the movie you most likely had known someone with the disease. I thought they ended that in a positive way.

What a movie. I read that it's heart-breaking (what else could you expect from a drama), yet I couldn't imagine how strong the feeling will be. "Still Alice" introduces the viewer with the hardships that a person with Alzheimer's and their closest relatives are facing. Throughout the movie you get familiar with degradation of the main character's personality, caused by gradation of the disease. Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart did a great job fulfilling such strong supporting roles. Kristen Stewart remarkably embodied Alice Howland's youngest daughter Lydia, which suffered seeing her mother struggle with day-to-day tasks. Julianne Moore managed to not annoy me, so I consider it as a job well done.
