If you've watched someone slip away from early-onset Alzheimer's, you will cry through the whole film. The isolation, fear, anger, sadness, guilt, hopelessness, frustration and decay are all captured PERFECTLY. This is one of the most emotional films I've ever seen. As always, the cinematography of Denis Lenoir is majestic. The choice of light and color is a great work of art in and of itself. Julianne Moore's Academy Award for this film was well deserved.

Top-notch performances by Moore, Baldwin and Stewart, but the film itself is only slightly above average. The idea of zooming in on the by Alzheimers afflicted Alice while her family discuss her condition in the blurry background was flat-out inspired, though.

Strikes a personal chord for me, which makes it impossible for me to objectively rate it. Not only have I had three grandparents die from dementia, the one I was closest to was named Alice, and she had Alzheimer's. Yeah, Julianne Moore nailed it.

The flaws of a film like this, which is perfectly competent and honest, are nevertheless visible. Its treatment of Alzheimer's, while genuine and sensitive, has the air of a "disease of the week" TV movie with plenty of speeches and a totally predictable arc. Baldwin and Stewart are okay but miscast. The whole thing plays like a calculated Oscar ploy for Moore, but she's overdue and she is predictably excellent, so it doesn't bother me.

A haunting depiction of early-onset Alzheimers which shows that who we are is very much in our grey matter, and more specifically in our memories. We are our memories and we are memorising. Sadly, willpower alone cannot stop biological degradation. Moore, Stewart and Baldwin really sell the story, but the same cannot be said for the rest of the cast.

The universally tangible family dynamic does a great job of holding this movie together. With the chemistry between Kristen Stewart and Julianne Moore being the key element. I don't know if this was planned from the beginning or if it was a post-production decision based on how well they worked together, but...either way it's a good one. Making it a movie about family as much as this one does is necessary, I think, when it comes to telling a story about a disease like this.

Bring your tissues! Driven by excellent and heartbreaking performances from the entire cast (Julianne Moore, particularly deserving of her Oscar win here) and great direction, bringing portraying the illness on screen brilliantly, this emotional story pulls the right heartstrings. The story doesn't have the best ending but the message is strong and heartfelt.

Still Alice is a great example of a good film that I'll never revisit. Moore delivers a terrific performance, and surprisingly Stewart shows she actually has acting talent. The film is about Alzheimer's, and the brutality of the disease is mirrored in the difficulty of the watch. The only complaint is that the plot plods along predictably, which means if you're not emotional invested, you're not invested at all.

Tough choice between giving a 3 or a 4, Still Alice is a somewhat simplistic, yet well made film. Moore's performance is great, and I'm am very pleased she finally got her Oscar. The film isn't as sad/powerful as it should have been in my opinion, which is surprising given the plot. Still definitely worth checking out.

Really well done. In one scene (first time Alice gets lost), we get a really good impression of her point of view: one moment she's jogging, the other moment we're looking around. The buildings just don't look familiar, and the feeling of being lost was really well-captured. These scene was a gem and the movie was not exactly full of those. There were a couple of awkward moments I hated (she was at a loss of words as she was giving a speech), but I guess that's part of it. Mom loved it.

I read the book before watching the movie. Unfortunately I never felt engaged with this movie. There were some poignant moments, and I loved K. Stewart's character, and the subject matter is extremely important, but I just never felt the depth that I had hoped for. "Away From Her" explores a similar topic with much more depth and atmosphere.

A Lifetime "disease-of-the-week" melodrama with more expensive actors and tonier production values. The female characters are the only ones the least bit fleshed-out--and they're annoying. The men might as well be cardboard cut-outs. Julianne Moore is fine, but the fact that she won all those awards with such shoddy source material is essentially an indictment of the whole movie industry.

This still is a good film, just not a really good film. I fully agree Julianne Moore deserved her accolades. The movie makes you think a lot about family and taking care of yourself too. Alzheimers disease is really scary and the line of "I wish I had cancer" shows how bad the disease really is. The scene with the self made video and her sleeping pills was more scary than many things I see in thriller movies. The one thing that brought this movie down for me was Kristen Stewart...

Julianne Moore's brilliant & heartbreaking. I do wonder if it wouldn't have been better if she hadn't been an upper-middle-class married white woman with children. Alzheimer's is difficult no matter who you are, of course. I just feel that this sort of drama with these kind of characters have been pretty well covered by now. Anyway, the film itself is fine. There's nothing extraordinary about the direction or the screenplay, but it definitely sets the scene for the actors to do their thing

Still Alice deliberately drifts down that same path ... for a time. As we live through the anguish of a tack-sharp academician being reduced to a vacant-eyed shell of her former self, and as we hear a gentle woman wish for cancer over Alzheimer's so she could feel less ashamed about her mental loss, it feels like her story is suggesting she swallow the bottle full of pills to find the final solution.

a somewhat restrained piece (maybe too much for some), not only on alzheimers, but on the inevitability of loss in general, whether it be slow or quick, physical or mental. great performance by moore, although her opportunities to really shine are limited to a handful. i also liked the angle with stewart, the supposed "black sheep" in a family of academic achievers ends up being the one to face reality and become an anchor to her drowning mother. the final scene almost had me shed a man tear.

Argh. It's a heartbreaking film, and hard to watch at times. Just makes you think loads about your own life, future and family members. Not the most pleasurable experience but maybe an important lesson nonetheless. Julianne Moore and Alec Baldwin were impeccable, I could not have asked for anything more. K-Stew also on fine form again, she gets all the best roles. The scene where Julianne watches the video of herself and goes upstairs... real emotional, heart-in-mouth stuff. Applause.

It's all about Julianne Moore here, and she's what makes Still Alice works as well as it does, but I also must credit the superb pacing. Unlike so many similar Oscar-bait-type films, the story here moves forward at an impressive rate, which really works for the subject matter: the march towards Alzheimer's for Moore's character is relentless, give or take a brief plateau or two, and that is devastating.

The success of Still Alice comes directly from Julianne Moore. The film would not be a success if she did not deliver a standout performance. We would be criticizing the film's lack of depth or purpose beyond portraying a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It would be seen as laughable, simplistic, and probably offensive if Moore was not believable in the role. Luckily, the gamble paid off, and Still Alice winds up being an emotionally compelling and heartbreaking movie.

The whole movie rests upon Moore's performance, and as usual, she excels. She elevates what would be middle of the road with her performance. It is hard not to be touched by her story and her affliction, but not everything is given the love that it needs to make this a great film. Characters are underdeveloped and feel like plot devices at points. Still though, even with its problems, there is a good emotional connection to Alice and you feel for her. Again thanks to the amazing performance.

I'll lead with the fact that I have read (and quite enjoyed) the Lisa Genova book. There are questions about whether Baldwin, Stewart et. al. "needed" to be in the movie or are "miscast". I don't think I buy that; their presence only helps the movie's credibility, and their performances are fine. Julianne Moore absolutely shines. In my opinion, she deserves the Globe & the Oscar. The "Butterfly" scene is heartbreaking. It's more than just a "disease-of-the-month" TV movie. It's worth your watch.

Still Alice owes everything to its cast. The script, burdened by its "tear-jerking holiday read" affections tries to hit on emotional pressure points. It implores you to feel the sorrow that comes with Alzheimers in a manner that feels suffocating to a situation which left to its own more natural devices would have been sufficiently moving. There is, however, no doubting the almighty performance of Moore, who is able to translate the mental torments of her character with such haunting realism.
