Still Alice
“On my good days I can almost pass for a normal person but on my bad days I feel like I can’t find myself” --Julianne Moore in Still Alice Julianne Moore is with very few exceptions, consistently the most interesting person in any film that she appears in. I remember first noticing her as Annabella Sciorra’s best friend in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Her character, Marlene, a hard driving realtor, is introduced by her husband saying “She’s on the phone”, when he arrives for a dinner party and Marlene is in the car on a car phone, which made a pretty funny line in 1992, when car phones (but not cell phones) were available. Immediately I could tell that he would not dare to suggest that she get off the phone before she is ready. In 1993 Moore had a very memorable, but also small, in Short Cuts, as a woman who makes an interesting confession to her husband while ironing and naked from the waist
