What The Critics Say
‘While it’s no surprise that Moore is so good, Still Alice has an unexpected trick up its sleeve: The sweetly gentle performance of Kristen Stewart, as Alice’s actress daughter, Lydia.’ – Seattle Times
‘The movie is harrowing, as any story about Alzheimer’s should be, but Moore gives it an extra layer of gravity and heart-breaking inevitability.’ – Miami Herald
‘A modest drama, but Moore’s heart-wrenching and Oscar-nominated performance makes this a must-see.’ – Newsday
