Wow what a beautiful movie. Julianne Moore got her well deserved Oscar for portraying Alice, a linguistics professor who gets diagnosed with Alzheimers. Her struggle, pain and fight is portrayed so gracefully and in a multi layered way. No clichés here.

An important story to tell, we get an insight into what it means to live with this particular disease, how it affects your mind, personality, your family, work and social life.

Huge credit to Julianne Moore for not turning this into a depressing movie. Honestly I could watch her paint a wall. She's so effortless and ethereal, you just can't take your eyes off her. She has the most expressionate face, able to tell a story with just a glance.

When she gets lost during a run and looks around frantically, my eyes teared up instantly. She's able to make you feel what she's feeling. What an extraordinary talent.

Highly recommend.
