Butterfly

I don't like movies that are about sicknesses. I guess it's because I don't want to relate. It's never a nice to leave a theatre feeling like sh*t.

"Still Alice"

Although, Still Alice was nothing like that. It really is a rare pearl. You feel sad and depressed as the film goes along, yet come out of the movies with a smirk on your face.

Alice -played by Julianne Moore-, is an incredibly intelligent University Professor diagnoised with Alzheimer's disease. It's the sickness with no cure that eats your brain, destroying everything you have worked for in life and leaves you with the shell of your body.

The movie portrays how a big family goes through such difficult, stressful and mentally harsh process of loosing a loved one. Maybe how this is different from all same type of movies is that, they can't share your sadness nor comfort you.

Julianne Moore completely slayed the role she was given. An unquestionable Oscar Win is coming her way, She portrayed Alice so perfectly and so realistically that I felt uncomfortable. I was starting to get anxious that I could get Alzheimer's disease (and I'm 22). That is how well she played the character. 

Not only Julianne, but everyone did a great job. Alec Baldwin as his husband, and even Kristen Steward. I was NOT a fan of her but she probably showcased her best performance to date.

After you leave the cinema, you'll agree with me. Absurdly good acting. 

ENJOY
