Still Alice (2014)
Country: US/GB/FR
Technical: col 101m
Director: Richard Glatzer, Wash Westmoreland
Cast: Julianne Moore, Adam Baldwin, Kristen Stewart
Synopsis:
A professor of philology develops Alzheimer's disease, and we witness the effects on her sense of self, her attentive family, and in particular her relationship with her younger daughter.
Review:
A rather depressing subject is handled with great sensitivity and restraint, eschewing the heavy dramatic artillery sometimes reserved for such scenarios. Shallow focus is used to imitate the isolating effects of the condition on the protagonist, and the star delivers an exceptional, and extensively garlanded, performance.
