PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

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

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

El-Dod Still Alice is so emotional and sensible in dealing with the disease and our protagonist which Julianne Moore nailed it and reflected it's sequence of getting more and more into the Alzheimer disease and the movie is very emotional and it's sequence was quite sensible and proper for a person suffering from the disease. The movie failed to use the character better than this as it was overall very average in all of it's components but for Moore who did a great job and might have been 2014's best performance. 6.5/10

InaneSwine A good film that deals with its topic maturely and sensitively, Julianne Moore carries her character gracefully and wholly convincingly. I also don't want to pass up the opportunity to give Kristen Stewart some rare praise, as she takes on a role far better suited to her than most, though it isn't an overwhelmingly challenging one.It's unfortunate that in spite of the film's overall integrity, there are some scenes that look like they were extracted directly from a Lifetime daytime TV movie. Otherwise, the film is a fairly simple but most effective examination of Alzheimer's Disease.

sol- Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's Disease, a middle aged university professor tries to deal with the increasing confusion and uncertainty that comes with the condition in this emotionally charged drama. Best known for the fact that it won Julianne Moore what many considered to be an overdue Oscar, she is very good here and quite likely richly deserved to win. Moore captures the gradual stages of neurological decline with remarkable finesse and the writing/directing team of Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland afford her several moments to shine. An especially effective sequence has her enter her home and go from room to room in search of the bathroom, only to find herself in a near labyrinthine maze, opening and reopening doors that she has already tested. The first doctor's appointment that we see might be Moore's best scene though as the camera lingers on her face for minutes on end with a disembodied doctor's voice that is seen but never heard. Where the film disappoints though is in the depiction of the impact on Moore's family. She has three adult children, but we only ever get to know one in any real depth and while Alec Baldwin has several strong moments as her concerned husband, there are some odd moments in which we are unsure whether he cares more about his job, yet this angle then just fades away towards the end. It is a minor issue though in what is overall a touching, scary and thought-provoking film. Just what would it be like to lose your sense of personal identity altogether? Food for thought for sure.

klheintz Still Alice follows Alice(Moore) and her family(Stewart,Baldwin) as they deal with her early onset Alzheimer's disease. I have yet to see a movie that follows the things one dealing with Alzheimer's goes through. I never really put thought into how it would feel to go through it and Moore displays it in a way that's believable. Knowing a family member that went through dementia it really struck me in a way I doubt it would have otherwise.The story mostly focuses on Moore's character and I think it could have gained something by giving some more screen time to the family members. Even though it focuses on Moore it is not a bad thing, she does a wonderful job in this film. The simplicity with which she shows Alice going through her daily life as it gets harder and harder for her to is very well done. You can really feel the confusion that her character is experiencing.Overall it's a simple story that is told and shown in a believable way and has some great acting by all those involved. I just wish some more screen time was there for the rest of the family.
