Still Alice

Still Alice (2014) presents the gradual erosion of a life through memory loss, as linguistics professor Alice Howland, played with quiet intensity by Julianne Moore, grapples with an early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The film charts the incremental dismantling of intellectual prowess and personal identity, while her family, portrayed with understated poignancy, must navigate the shifting dynamics of care and support. Director Ricki Stern and Ann Keuter’s lens captures the stark reality of cognitive decline, rendering the daily challenges of communication and connection with unflinching honesty.
