Review of Still Alice (2014) by Niki G — 18 Aug 2015
What a performance. In the beginning, when the character is cognizant of what is happening -- you see all of that on her face: the anger, the desperation, the sadness. And quickly her memory goes. She is completely convincing, her mind utterly bereft.
I take issue with the choice of conveying her fading memory by blurring or diffusing the shots. Moore herself portrays it more effectively. Her internal frustration at being able to see things quite clearly, yet be at a complete loss as to what they are.
