This movie has so much heart. I found myself teary eyed a few times. Its no surprise Julianne Moore won an academy award for her portrayal of a woman gradually falling into the clutches of Early-Onset Alzheimer's disease. She does such a good job depicting the different stages of the disease from minor things at the start like losing thread of an ongoing conversation to not being able to remember her daughter in the later stages. And, Kristen Stewart, playing Alice's daughter Lydia, held up her own too with the acting prowess of Julianne. Alec Baldwin also does a good job playing her husband. But, in the end, this movie is all about the stunning performance of Miss Moore. The movie itself is adapted from a book by the same name and is also very simplistic and carefully (without any flashy emotion) directed by the team of Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland (courtesy IMDB). The cinematography and style of the movie reminded me a bit of The Theory of Everything which co-incidentally also won Eddie Redmayne the Oscar for Best Actor. The ending of the movie was very beautiful and goes very well with the title. In the end, even when she is going through what she is, she remained "Still Alice".
If you want to calm yourself down, you should watch it. Even if its a disease story, it looks like a movie that can uplift you from a bad mood.
