Still Alice - DVD

I purchased the movie "Still Alice" as a birthday gift for my grandmother because she read the book and told me that it is inspiring and she enjoyed reading it. The book was written by Lisa Genova, who is an American neuroscientist and author. It is about a linguistics professor named Alice who is diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease and married with three children. The price was lower than many movies that recently became available to purchase on DVD (Still Alice became available in May) so the price is reasonable ($19.99). I believe that my grandmother will enjoy watching it and I would recommend it.

A tough watch if you've ever watched someone you really care about start their struggle with this disease. Richard Glatzer & Wash Westmoreland great direction. Easy to see why Julianne Moore won an Oscar for her performance. Good job by Kristen Stewart as well ( breaking out of the Bella Swan-Cullen persona ).

This is a good movie that shows what a family can go through when a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. It starts with the early stage diagnosis and goes until she cannot remember anyone, or anything. The only reason I did not say this was a great, or excellent movie, was because I did not like the ending.

Julianne Moore and the rest of the cast of this movie were all excellent. The story was sad and scary. Scary to know this kind of ailment exists, and sad to know that it could happen to people who have so much to give. I think everyone should see this movie.

What a performance!! She deserved the Best Actress Academy Award! She embodied the character for all its worth.
