Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

El-Dod Still Alice is so emotional and sensible in dealing with the disease and our protagonist which Julianne Moore nailed it and reflected it's sequence of getting more and more into the Alzheimer disease and the movie is very emotional and it's sequence was quite sensible and proper for a person suffering from the disease. The movie failed to use the character better than this as it was overall very average in all of it's components but for Moore who did a great job and might have been 2014's best performance. 6.5/10

TheLittleSongbird Saw 'Still Alice' to see how Julianne Moore's universally praised performance would fare and also to see how the film would do portraying an illness as cruel as Alzheimers. Having seen myself what it does to people from singing Christmas carols recently at a care home, and having had a family friend who succumbed to it a few years ago.Finally getting round to see it, there was a good deal to admire about 'Still Alice', and there is more to it than an award-sweeping performance. On the other hand, a large part of me expected something much more, it is a brave attempt but doesn't explore the illness and how it affects loved ones as well as the sufferer enough. Which is a really big shame because the potential and ingredients are all there, the execution was inconsistent.Can say absolutely nothing wrong about Julianne Moore, whose magnificent performance, one of heart-wrenching subtlety and dignity delivered with incredible intelligence, is what especially elevates 'Still Alice' to a higher level. As to whether she deserved the Oscar, my answer is yes for one of the overall best performances that year and she is tied with Rosamund Pike in 'Gone Girl' as my win for the Best Actress category that year.It is not just Moore who gives a quality performance. Alec Baldwin is just as powerful and Kristen Stewart proves that she is capable of a good (great even) performance when she has a character and material that are halfway decent (not the case with the 'Twilight' films and 'Snow White and the Huntsman', but the case here). The film looks good visually, while the music is hauntingly beautiful and there is an honesty and poignancy to the writing, effectively chilling early premonitions and some interesting, illuminating facts.However, most of the characters are cardboard cut-outs, particularly those of the children. Of Stewart, Hunter Parrish and Kate Bosworth's characters, the only one to have any kind of meat is Stewart's. Can barely remember those for the other two, especially Bosworth's who is also rather shallow. Too much of the script is under-baked, too coy and lacks subtlety, some of it almost like a sermon. There is not much new to what is already known about Alzheimers and how it's portrayed in other films to much better and more consistent effect.Much more could have been done with the too bland and trivialised portrayal of Alzheimers (even though there is emotional impact), we know already how cruel it is but we don't properly get to see how devastating the illness is. Largely because the family relationships and how it affects them, as well as the full effects of the illness itself (far more complex and devastating than the film shows), are under-explored. When there are attempts at these, they do vary in how much they ring true or whether they're contrived). And the daily struggles glossed over completely, it's not just the sufferer who suffers and the carers deserve better than that.Overall, decent and worth watching but should have been much more. 6/10 Bethany Cox

foodie03 This is a beautiful film. I was blown away by emotional performances of the actresses. Alice has had a nice and happy life before she gets Alzheimer, which rips everything that she has acquired through her life from her. The disease leads to her uncomfortable life, and she is not able to be like her. That is the thing we are the most afraid of. I t is important for us to live by ourselves independently and like our selves. Alice gets to have a weak recognition about who she is and people around her, which makes her suffer from it. However, the most stunning scene is the warm support from her family in this hard situation. No matter how worse Alice's condition is getting, they always stay with her. I was impressed with her family. Besides, this film uses a beautiful representation of a butterfly as a short life, which reminds us of a short life as same as Alice. Meanwhile, the camera work is reflected by Alice's condition. As she got worse, the monitor gets vague. We can see things as same as Alice. The last scene also moved my heart.

letshaveagoodtm Alex Baldwin is not a very good actor but who in their right mind (sorry for the bad play on words) would cast that jerk in this movie? He is simply not capable of playing this role. He is simply not an actor that can play a serious role like this. He is especially bad when he must try and keep up with really good actors and actresses. He is just a joke, name a single role where he has every played a role that is challenging. Perhaps he should simply continue to try and imitate Donald Trump because he cannot act well enough to keep pace with Donald Duck much less accomplished actors and actresses. He almost completely destroyed this movie in the few scenes he tried to act in.
