      Very well acted
      I haven't seen too many movies about Alzheimer's disease. I know it's tragic; I don't need Julianne Moore to tell me about it. I love Mia Farrow, though, so I decided to sit through her TV movie about early-onset Alzheimer's.

      Forget Me Never includes all the symptoms of the disease, including disorientation, confusion, forgetfulness, and mood swings. My favorite part of the film was how Mia's character gets away with hiding her disease for so long. It's clever and very realistic. Her husband Martin Sheen just thinks she's overworked and distracted; her kids think she's not prioritizing everyday tasks. Since she's so young, no one suspects she might have something wrong with her. "It's in the—the place where I keep all my clothes," Mia says, because she's forgotten the word "closet". Her daughter doesn't notice.

      While the other films about this disease focus on the later, difficult stages, Forget Me Never covers the beginning of it, which, it proves, is difficult in its own way. Martin isn't prepared for this marital problem, and he isn't equipped to handle it. He gives a great and realistic performance as a regular Joe who hasn't really accepted the dropping bombshell. Mia is fantastic; she more than earned her Golden Globe nomination for the role. She expresses every emotion perfectly, without hamming it up and making it obvious she's playing for audience sympathy, like other actors have done in similar roles. Your heart will break for her in her fear, determination, fight, sadness, and uncertainty.
