Plot:
Alice Howland is a professor of linguistics at Columbia University. Her husband John is a doctor and they have three children. Their children are now grown up and are independent now, but they always are a loving and knit family. But the happiness of this family is under threat. Alice has Alzheimer, a disease very rare for people of her age, but sometimes it happens. The procession to Calvary begins and both Alice and her relatives will face unprecedented emotions and situations…
Our impressions and movie review:
The great film “Still Alice” is based on the novel with the same title by Lisa Genova, which was published in USA in 2007. Even though the screen writers – I can’t tell you about the book – have rounded the world of Alzheimer, 
the film still is like a punch in the stomach. The excellent performance of Julianne Moore make the scenes very realistic and very shocking. This dramatic film is not suitable for a movie night to relax with pizza or snacks. But this is one of the films the whole family can watch and discuss. Alzheimer disease does not ask you before it enters your house, and when it does it turns your life upside down. Therefore it is a good idea to learn about Alzheimer and see how can we stand against this and stand by our people who are affected.
