Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children, is a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a devastating diagnosis, Alice and her family find their bonds tested.”

Poster: C- / B / C-

Review: (#1) There are more creative designs that could have been employed. While this might appeal to Julianne Moore fans, I don’t think many others will care.

(#2-#3) Apart from the awesome font lettering on the second design, these posters are largely uninteresting.

Trailer: A-

Review: It’s a slow-build trailer that simulates Alzheimer’s in the slow degradation of the lead character. That alone, with Moore’s performance, make this look like it could be quite good.

Oscar Prospects:

Everyone seems to think Julianne Moore is due. Several Oscar nominations and a baity role give her an excellent chance of winning her first ever Oscar. The film hasn’t seemed to pick up much traction, even for its supporting cast, but it could show up in the lightly-populated Best Adapted Screenplay category.
