still alice (2014)

i watch this on the flight over to paris. a surprising choice, considering my last ten movies have been of the pixar cars variety. 

what i say is, this is beautiful. julianne moore, as she allows the layers that form the woman to dissolve until an unrecognizable shell remains. alec baldwin as he loses that about his wife which he loves, and as he loses bits of himself. kristen stewart, as she seeks the mother she knows and unexpectedly finds it possible to relate to the husk she has become.

dementia hits hard. the challenge of our generation, i think, is to come to peace with just how hard.
