While it's no surprise that Moore is so good, "Still Alice" has an unexpected trick up its sleeve: the sweetly gentle performance of Kristen Stewart, as Alice's actress daughter Lydia.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A modest drama, but Moore's heart-wrenching and Oscar-nominated performance makes this a must-see.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday

The movie is harrowing, as any story about Alzheimer's should be, but Moore gives it an extra layer of gravity and heartbreaking inevitability.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Sorrow-laden and moving, Still Alice isn't gratuitously grim nor is it easily sentimental. There's humor here -- vaguely gallows-like, perhaps but also earned.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

The great strength of the film is that it never resorts to cheap sentimentality. The facts themselves are hard enough, crushing enough.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
