Well, for a film about a variant of Alzheimer's that occurs more often or in older people, or about how someone in a deprived area would experience this film (or the disease), or about the behavior of patients in subsequent phases of the disease, you have to be elsewhere. I can understand that someone thinks: well, if only they had done this and this differently... I myself sometimes suffer from that, but to immediately start talking about a missed opportunity, well no. The film is what it is, a beautiful and sober portrait of someone who is confronted with a disease that will disrupt her entire (and still very active) life as a silent killer (apt wording of Sutherland). , and that is played very movingly by a perfect Julianne Moore and a good supporting cast.

Rather bland.

Typical illness drama, this time with Alzheimer's in the spotlight. The directors put everything into the central acting performance, otherwise this film really has very little to offer. If it doesn't catch on, unfortunately there's very little to do.

I can speak of it. Moore is also not a great actress for this role, because she is not immediately someone who plays very natural. The drama is very thick on top of it, with a lot of provoked looks and internal conflicts that have to be communicated externally in all kinds of ways. After a while it started to irritate me.

As said, there is not much else to experience. The secondary roles are fairly identityless, visually it is very boring, and the soundtrack does not know any added value at any time. It just feels too easy and too gratuitous. As if making a good movie equals choosing a tragic illness and then hoping it all turns out okay.

1.5*

Good theme that deserves a better fate than this script.
