StoryLine:
:A linguistics professor and her family find their bonds tested when she is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
:It probably goes without saying, but in my opinion “Still Alice” is right up there among this year’s best pictures. And what ultimately makes author Lisa Genova’s debut bestselling novel so personal, yet so universal and identifiable in it’s messages, are the performances.

Both of their characters were so real – warm, supportive and earthly. And while both Baldwin and Stewart have taken the occasional misstep in their respective pasts, both of them once again showed without a doubt their acting abilities and scope, a word linguistics professor Dr. Alice Howland used, albeit with great difficulties, to describe her daughter Lydia (played by Stewart) in one point of the film.
