CGiii Comment
There's no LGBT content per se...the directors make this an interesting addition - they ave certainly travelled an interesting path. From the depths of the gutter (The Fluffer) to the admirable (Echo Park) to Oscar glory...!
Living proof that tenacity pays...!
This Julianne Moore's film...a delicate, touching performance enhanced by good support.
Our only criticism, as a film...it's more TV than cinema.
Still, that performance...and, living proof that tenacity pays off in the end.

The(ir) Blurb...
Alice Howland is a renowned linguistics professor happily married with three grown children. All that begins to change when she strangely starts to forget words and then more. When her doctor diagnoses her with Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease, Alice and her family's lives face a harrowing challenge as this terminal degenerative neurological ailment slowly progresses to an inevitable conclusion they all dread. Along the way, Alice struggles to not only to fight the inner decay, but to make the most of her remaining time to find the love and peace to make simply living worthwhile.
