Away From Her — 

This was a movie theme that hit close to home for my family. Our Mom has Alzheimers' and even she watched the movie. Her comment, "Yes, it's like that." The movie offers a clear depiction of the family  affected by this deteriorating disease. I would have liked to have seen a more in depth expression of the views and experience of the person(s) suffering with the disease.

I think the movie is timely for many baby boomers. I know many people who I've sadly shared the experience with. Perhaps this movie will stimulate more interest in finding a cure for the disease. It is heartbreaking.

My father suffered severe dementia and it was such a terrible thing to watch happen. Thanks for the review.
