Movie Reviews of Away from Her
Movie Review: Heart-breaking story wonderfully acted
Summary: 5 Stars
You can read other reviews here for the plot synopsis or rave reviews of the performances. Some reviewers said the Alzheimer's effects didn't ring true enough or weren't "ugly" enough. Well, this isn't a documentary about the disease. And not all Alzheimer's sufferers exhibit the same symptoms on the same schedule. But the film is so wonderfully shot and directed and acted that it is sometimes hard to believe it comes from a novice director. Sarah Polley - yes, that little girl from "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" and later of "The Sweet Hereafter" - hits one out of the park.
I saw this film and "The Savages" in the same weekend. Helluva pair.
Movie Review: Julie's will win another Oscar
Summary: 5 Stars
Julie Christie has consistently been one of our most cherished actresses in film...the film AWAY FROM HER is going to clinch her another Oscar for Best Actress...the nuances of her performance are magical...playing actually a number of different parts during the wife's decline into the darkness of Alzheimer's...she'll have stiff competitioner this year with LA VIE EN ROSE's Cotillard and THE GOLDEN AGE's Blanchett, but I believe new Hollywood will embrace old Hollywood...and give it to her for this bravura performance...the entire cast is wonderful...but Julie will devastate everyone watching....Loved it!!Movie Review: a movie about alzheimers
Summary: 5 Stars
my mother suffers from end stages of alzheimers and i always try to watch every movie possible for this desease. this was my 2nd best movie that i have seen. the very best movie is "THE NOTEBOOK". i would highly recommend this movie to any that has been effected with this desease. it is very emotional and julie christie gave an awarding winning performance. it is a must see movie.this movie is about the struggles of putting a loved one in a facility and the stuggles that occur.Movie Review: One of 2007's Best Films
Summary: 5 Stars
Sarah Polley's impressive directorial debut is a deeply affecting study of Alzheimer's tragic impact on a long-married couple. Julie Christie delivers an exquisite, heartbreaking performance, yet Gordon Pinsent's understated portrayal holds the film together - he is superb. The cinematography of Luc Montpellier adds to the haunting atmosphere. Deserving more awards than it received, "Away From Her" is nothing short of sublime.Movie Review: My heartache
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen Away from Her on TV, but I wanted to purchase it for our 4 adult children and their spouses. Their dad, my husband has been diagnoised with that dreadful disease. He is in the beginning stages, I wanted them to see what really happens. I took care of my mother in law with the same disease. I think this will be wonders for the children when they 'GET" AROUND to watching it.
