Molly Haskell Film Comment Magazine Feb 15, 2017
It's the intent of this moving film to capture something that for obvious reasons is rarely attempted in memoir or movie, i.e., the experience of the deadly disease from the perspective of the sufferer rather than the caregivers. Go to Full Review

The subject matter may be tough, and the end-point inevitable, but the message we take away is defiant and ultimately uplifting. Go to Full Review

3/5
Writer-directors Glatzer and Westmoreland have written a rich, multi-layered screenplay that works equally well as family melodrama and as a meditation on language, identity and mortality. Go to Full Review

Bill T. @btreakle Jan 19, 2026 “Still Alice “This film starring julianna Moore Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart was a very good film about the disease of Alzheimer’s.talking about a college professor who was at the top of her field one of the smartest people that you may have ever met Had the misfortune of acquiring Alzheimer’s at a very young age and this is her story. The story of love sacrifice and all that it entails and a family when this dreaded disease it becomes a focus of a loving family. This was a very good film and one of the better roles that I’ve seen Kristen Stewart Alec Baldwin and of course julianna Moore ever perform. This movie is appropriate for all ages and one that I think you should watch as a family. See more
