When words begin to escape her and she starts becoming lost on her daily jogs, Alice must come face-to-face with a devastating diagnosis: early-onset Alzheimer's disease. As the once-vibrant woman struggles to hang on to her sense of self for as long as possible, Alice's three grown children must watch helplessly as their mother disappears more and more with each passing day.

The story of love sacrifice and all that it entails and a family when this dreaded disease it becomes a focus of a loving family. This was a very good film and one of the better roles that I’ve seen Kristen Stewart Alec Baldwin and of course julianna Moore ever perform.
