There's no film critic who I enjoy reading more than O'Hehir but I don't really get his objection here. "Still Alice" is an inferior film because it deals with a dramatic situation that is not common? As someone who spent 10 years as a film critic and another 20 now as a screenwriter, I can say that in my experience anomaly is typically what movie producers look for. It's true that the Lifetime Channel, for whom I wrote a movie, tries to key on prevalent trends in the life of American women, but "Still Alice" is a feature film. The uniqueness of its subject matter is one reason it actually does not resemble a disease-of-the-week TV movie. Parsing the review carefully, Andrew's real caveat seems to be his annoyance with folks claiming the makers of "Still Alice" have bravely taken on a large societal problem and faced it squarely. I don't hear anyone saying that. I hear the handful of people who have seen the film saying it's an emotionally affecting portrait of one woman and one family.

I saw and liked the movie. Am i a white woman who lives in manhattan and is uber-educated?
No. But i am a survivor and i will use tools like the internet to get around the diseases and injuries that i have. I suffered a "mild" brain injury during 1998. The result is that i have face blindness. I have to study the totality of a person's appearance, gait and clothing style to identify them in a crowd. I still never check the box for disability on employment applications because i have used my intelligence and research skills to relearn how to identify people. I saw the character alice use some of the same skills to adapt to her changing situation.
