Review of Still Alice (2014) by Andrewpreview — 14 Jun 2015
Interesting/frightening/depressing for its subject matter, but I agree that it felt a bit like a TV movie, except with better actors. It strayed into melodrama at times, for example in the scenes between mother and rebellious daughter, and the speech scene complete with the audience wiping their eyes.
It did almost feel like it was designed to deliver Julianne Moore an Oscar. And she was very good, but I can't help feeling that a role like that is manna from heaven for any decent actor.
