Review of Still Alice (2014) by Dierregi — 24 May 2015
Much as I like Julianne Moore as an actress, I was not going to watch this movie because I thought it was going to be predictable and depressing. Turns out it was neither... well, actually rather melancholic but not depressing.
The slow fall of the Moore character into Alzheimer is described with tact and realism. I was also pleased to see that for once the Academy awarded the Oscar to an actress truly deserving it. The supporting cast was also good, inclusive of Stewart who proved to be a better actress than I thought.
