''At some point [with Alzheimer's], there would simply be no point. I have no control over which yesterdays I keep and which ones get deleted. This disease will not be bargained with. I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today doesn't matter.I used to know how the mind handled language, and I could communicate what I knew. I used to be someone who knew a lot. No one asks for my opinion or advice anymore. I miss that. I used to be curious and independent and confident. I miss being sure of things. There's no peace in being unsure of everything all the time. I miss doing everything easily. I miss being a part of what's happening. I miss feeling wanted. I miss my life and my family. My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment. Some tomorrow soon, I'll forget that I stood before you and gave this speech. But just because I'll forget it some tomorrow doesn't mean that I didn't live every second of it today.''

Still Alice was a very touching look at Alzheimer's disease. The story was kept simple, but nevertheless managed to show the personal struggles that the titular character faces, as well as the effect it has on her family. The direction was restrained and served to highlight the acting, with an absolutely fantastic performance by Julianne Moore; I can see why she's become the frontrunner for Best Actress. Unfortunately, Kristen Stewart was terrible in half her scenes and she was definitely the worst part of an otherwise excellent movie. I cried manly tears.

The story moves along without any real conflict apart from Alice's illness - predictable and boring. There is no "waiting" for anything eventful. Scenes unfold and eventually the movie ends. Total lack of character development apart from Alice. I could not wait for this one to end, and when it did, I was completely dissatisfied.

"All my life I've accumulated memories - they've become, in a way, my most precious possessions. The night I met my husband, the first time I held my textbook in my hands. Having children, making friends, traveling the world. Everything I accumulated in life, everything I've worked s More

A realistic depiction of Alzheimer's disease, captured by an emotional script and fine performances.

Script: 10

The script is clean and simple, it doesn't try to diminish the devastating effect Alzheimers disease has on the individual and their families. The story does a good job of de More

'Still Alice' is a film that boasts a remarkable central performance from Julianne Moore. It tells the story of a University linguistics professor (Moore) as she is diagnosed a rare form of Auzheimer's disease.

Richard Glatzer's direction of the movie can be viewed as a parallel to his own life a More
