Still Alice

“Live in the moment.”

Alice Howland (Julianne Moore) is a linguistics professor at the height of her career, with a husband, John (Alec Baldwin), and three grown children. Then she starts losing words in the middle of her own sentences, and the diagnosis that follows is familial Alzheimer's. Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland follow the family as Alice tries to hold onto herself while the thing she has built a life on, language, begins to leave her.
