Still Alice is based on the novel with the same name by Lisa Genova. The movie portrayed a 50-year old linguistics professor named Alice Howland who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. Now, now I am not going to go over the details of the story since I have no intention of spoiling. This movie is a clear message that younger people can develop Alzheimer's disease, that could strip away not just the memory, but life and career. One of the most emotional scene occurred when Alice delivers her speech at an Alzheimer's Association conference. I applaud Julianne's Moore's phenomenal performance. It is not a wonder she won Best Actress at the Oscar Academy Awards 2015.
