Away from Her (2006)

Canada
Feature Film
Director: Sarah Polley
Writers: Sarah Polley, Alice Munro
Cinematographer: Luc Montpellier
Composer: Jonathan Goldsmith
Cast: Gordon Pinsent, Julie Christie, Olympia Dukakis, Michael Murphy, Kristen Thomson, Wendy Crewson

Talented actress Sarah Polley’s directorial debut, an adaptation of Alice Munro’s short story, The Bear Came Over the Mountain, which explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and institutional care on a 40-year-old marriage, manages to depict difficult subject matter with controlled respect: the performances are restrained, the camera unobtrusive, and the overall effect is quietly devastating.
