"Still Alice" movie

My book group read "Remember" by LIsa Genova.  It is non-fiction and describes how our memories work.  Last night, we watched the movie "Still Alice", starring Juliette Moore. It's about a professor who finds unexplained serious difficulties descend on her with no warning.  She sees a doctor about the problem and learns that she has early-onset Alzheimer's.  It is serious and depressing and her situation is only going to get worse.  It was moving and well-written.  I looked it up and found the script was based on the book, by the same Lisa Genova.  I was impressed and moved by the movie.   Lynn was working on a list of her favorite movies and included "Still Alice".
