Mike P Beautiful humanistic tear-jerker about English Professor Julianne Moore's descent into mental oblivion as she develops Alzheimer's at a young age. And then the family is challenged in terms of who will step up; and who will betray her; since she desperately needs a caregiver to survive at that point. It's all beautiful and heartbreaking; anchored by Moore's amazing performance. Kristen Stewart steps up too this time; and her line, "Don't worry Mom. I've got you," will have you reaching for your crying towell. The last scene where Kristen feeds the infantilized Moore is also very moving and heartbreaking. Overall an excellent showcase for superb acting! For similarly themed movies try: Awakenings and Charlie. The Elvis Costello humanist-ballad of 1989 "Veronica" is also the spiritual cousin of this fine film. I definitely recommend this. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review Stephen L ​"Still Alice" serves as a profound mechanism of empathy, immersing viewers into the harrowing journey of Dr. Alice Howland's battle with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Julianne Moore's portrayal is nothing short of outstanding, capturing the nuanced decline of a brilliant mind with authenticity and grace. The film's direction and editing are executed with precision, presenting a narrative that is both educational and deeply moving. Supporting performances, notably from Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart, complement Moore's lead, enriching the story's emotional depth. While undeniably heart-wrenching, "Still Alice" transcends mere tragedy, offering viewers an opportunity to cultivate empathy and understanding for those affected by such conditions.

Very realistic, and almost too sad at times, but worth watching if you're in the mood for a reflective piece.

Would recommend it to anyone Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Sharang L Very poignant, very scary. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Carl E Often a movie is so bad it's depressing, but Still Alice is so good that it is depressing. This film treats early onset Alzheimer's with humanity and dignity and Julianne More, who won a best acting Oscar as Alice, and Kristen Stewart are stellar in their respective roles. Alex Baldwin and the rest of the cast also turn in strong performances. So make some popcorn and prepare to be depressed. It is well worth it!
