Alice Howland (Julianne Moore), happily married with three grown children, is a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives the diagnosis of Early-onset Alzheimer’s, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested. Her struggle to stay connected to who she once was is frightening, heartbreaking, and inspiring.
Filmmakers Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland (THE LAST OF ROBIN HOOD, QUINCEAÑERA) treat Alice’s disease with great sensitivity and care, yet never reach for sentimentality or easy answers. Julianne Moore gives an intricate, moving performance, and is ably supported by a cast that includes Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart.
