Still Alice

Alzheimer's has to be one of the most frightening diseases known to us.  I can't even imagine what it would be like to be lost within yourself.  Sounds like "Still Alice" gives us some pretty good insight.

Wow, it almost sounds too scary to watch but necessary. :(

Oh wow, this movie is one I should see, since we are dealing with Alzheimers of a family member.  I hadn't heard of it; thanks for sharing.

Good morning Patricia.  My mom had Alzheimer's and it was in fact early onset. She began to show symptoms at age 64 and lived until 79.  Believe me, I have experienced this disease and it is devastating.  I do intend to see the film - Julianne Moore is one of my favorite actresses and I read the book.

Good morning Patricia. I didn't know what this film was about and now that I do I am very interested in seeing it. Thank you.

I heard about this from a recent award show, can't recall which, but gotta see this movie!

Good morning Patricia, Alzheimer's has to be one of the most scariest diseases for the one who has it as well as those who are around. My mom had a brain aneurysm and stayed in my home for four years afterwards, it was very difficult. I hadn't heard of the movie, thanks for the share.

Thanks for your movie review. I'll probably watch this movie, although it sounds incredibly sad. 

Hi Patricia, Thank you for posting this review.  There are so many families dealing with this horrible disease.  I heard a report where funding for research for this disease is not really that high and blames it on the fact that often people who have a disease will be the spokesperson for raising awareness and fundraising....but with Altzheimer's it is almost impossible for that person to materialize.  

Patricia Alzheimer's is a horrible disease.  The impact upon the one who has it is terrible, but the impact on the family might even be worst. 

By the way I like the new picture :)

Patricia:

Thanks for highlighting this movie. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that takes a toll on the entire family. Praying for a cure this year. 

This is a movie that Dolores and I need to see.

Have a wonderful weekend.

I'm not sure I could watch this movie with it being so sad. Alzheimer's is something that many families have to deal with and perhaps the scene would help many to understand the disease. Thanks for sharing with us.

It's a heartbreaking disease and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to watch it any time soon. My father has dementia and we're treating it with medication and watching him closely for other signs of deterioration in his thinking and reasoning skills. 
I'm sure this is a fabulous movie - just might hit too close to home right now. Movies help me escape some of the sad - bring on the stupid comedy (Bridesmaids) or a good romantic chick flick. Lol. 

Such a horrific disease.  It frightens me so much.  My grandmother died in the beginning stages of Alzheimers (of another cause) and knowing she was spared what could have been ahead was one of the biggest comforts to us.

Hi Patricia -- Still Alice is on my list of movies to see.  It's a horrible disease and one without cure at the current time.   

I wanted to see 'Still Alice' but it hits too close to home too soon for John.  I'm glad Hollywood is bringing this monster to light.
