Away From Her — 

 Julie Christie is moving in her portrayal of a woman, gradually losing her identity to Alzheimer's disease and the story of her husband's loss. The only aspect of the movie that was somewhat dis-heartening was the portrayal of the other residents of the facility. Unfortunately, alzheimer sufferers can be angry, aggressive and at times combative; a more realistic depiction would have been more effective.
