If You Only Knew

I saw this movie in a Private Screening done by Production. It has a great mixture of feelings. Laughter from one of the characters that kept my emotions "balanced." Tears from both happiness and sadness from the struggles of a mother suffering by domestic violence, a bitter son, and Alzheimer's disease. Suspense, through out a couple of pieces in the movie - with unexpected endings. An opportunity to change the point of view about Alzheimer's patients' "world." Anyone involved in the patient care industry, anyone with a family member suffering from this disease, anyone that is affecting others of being affected by alcoholism and/or domestic violence ... cannot and should not miss this film. The music goes very well with the "up's and downs" in the audience' emotions. The art department did an awesome job - making each scene detailed and according to the script/time line. The picture quality is unbelievable.

It doesn't matter how "poorly" a movie is made; maybe there wasn't enough money in the budget to use expensive technology or to hire well known actors. The bottom line is the message. We don't have all the answers for Alzheimer's but this movie shows the empathy and compassion we should show to others dealing with it. Doctors agree that the disease will be hitting younger ppl in the future, who are using too much technology. It is causing the plaque build-up in the brain to accelerate. Let's get back to the good ol days when we spoke face to face! Lets seek out humanity by looking up from our phones.

This movie is one of those sad cases when a movie COULD have been really good, but you can just hear the raspberry blowing as the metaphorical balloon deflates.

Because of the subject of Alzheimer's, I wish this had been a good movie. At first, I could feel Louise's hopelessness, both at her diagnosis and at her home situation in the flashbacks. My own dad had Alzheimer's, so I worry about it for myself in the future. The movie, however, was so fake it didn't let me get pulled into the reality of it, which was good for me but bad for the movie.

I see what they were trying to do with the back-and-forth through time, but it didn't work.

The dialogue was cheesy to the point of losing sympathy for the characters.

The whole movie felt like watching a first-time rehearsal rather than a finished movie. Most of the actors were so bad it was embarrassing to watch, especially Bob, Carlo, and Anna. The actors playing Louise and Breeze were ok. As for the actor playing Fred, it's hard to tell since his character was written to be such a stereotype.

The most astonishing part about this movie, is that it shows not only how the disease affects just the main character, but every member in the family. Educates you on the early signs while still being able to entertain you and keep your attention (because it is still a movie). Its one of my new favorite movies. When i first saw it, I meant to come back to find it, and I've wrecked my brain on how to find it, and I'm so glad I did. Definitely a new jewel of mine. My nana succumbed to Alzheimers in 2013, and at first we didn't recognize the signs, but after watching this movie it was crystal clear all along. Definitely a great movie for anyone to watch.

I'm watching this movie right now. It's painful. I have a policy to always see a movie through to its end, and I can't wait for this one to be over. The production quality is that of a cheap porn film; you expect to hear lamps falling over in the background. The main character is supposed to be a successful fashion designer, yet the settings are all drab and tasteless, as are the clothes she designs. The acting is awful. The story outline itself is intriguing, that of a woman who acquires early-onset Alzheimer's as a result of a head injury suffered at the hands of an abusive boyfriend. However, the way the story plays out in the film is fill of gaps and often illogical. The doctor's lines are really bad and totally unrealistic. Don't watch this movie; you'll be wasting your time.
