Whilst I think some people who have experience of dealing with people with Alzheimer's are clearly letting that cloud their judgment of the film, it is a film after all so you have to allow for artistic licence. None of which diminished what was a very moving account of a couple going into this stage of their relationship. I just found the whole situation very believable and some of the imagery stunning. For me it was a very subtly acted film that dealt extraordinarily well with its subject. I don't feel I need to have experience of Alzheimer's to know that this film speaks from the heart. I thought Polley cast the film well and told a very adult story at a very young age well and with maturity beyond her years.
