Still Alice

Review by Mialn Paurich

Julianne Moore is one of those actresses who’s been so reliably good, often great, for so many years that it’s been easy for some (particularly Oscar voters) to take her for granted. Which might explain why Moore is the designated front-runner in this year’s Oscar race for Best Actress. The fact that she gives a typically strong performance in STILL ALICE playing a Columbia professor suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s certainly doesn’t hurt. More than likely it’s simply a case of, “She’s due.”
