The only place where the movie really falters is
in the final minutes, which is a little too nice for the events that precede it,
because even though the subject matter may be bleak, «Starred Up» is a truly captivating
film about the ineffectiveness of the penal system and hands - down one of the best prison dramas
in recent memory.
Because the there is no vaccine, no magic cure, and even few known ways to prevent the onset of this mentally disabling disease (at this point anyway), Still Alice is one of the most frightening
films I've seen
in recent memory.
