Has anyone seen Still Alice?

Was it any good? I'm thinking about going later this afternoon.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I'm in the theater, waiting for it to start! Two movies in one day for me.

Gidget, I saw this movie today too. What did you think of it? I thought it was beautifully acted, but very sad. It hits home with me, as my elderly mother has Alzheimer's, and I saw a lot of her actions and symptoms up on that movie screen.

Re: Has anyone seen Still Alice?

I'm too scared to see it. I don't know anyone personally who has Alzheimer's (or Parkinson's).

But I saw a clip of the movie where Julianne/Alice was explaining to a young girl how she would be reaching for a word and it's like it was just floating in front of her, but she couldn't grasp it to actually use it.

I also saw someone on TV talking about Parkinson's this week and that was also a symptom.

Well, heck that has happened to me.

For the life of me I can't think of the girl's name (I guess she was Alice's daughter). She was from the Twilight movies....UGH. What the heck was her name????

I would agree. It's a really strong movie.
