Away From Her - wonderful movie
While this is not a "feel good' movie by any stretch of the imagination, it's a movie worth seeing. Julie Christie is magnificent in her role (and still breathtakingly beautiful) as a woman with Alzeheimers. This is most definitely not a mainstream movie and will not appeal to all but for those who want to see a dignified, intelligently done, thought-provoking movie - this is a must-see. The performances by Christie, Gorden Pinsent as her husband and Olympia Dukakis as the wife of another patient in the long-term care home Christie ends up in are all top-notch. Wendy Crewson was spot-on in her performance as the administrator of the facility. I highly recommend this film.
