Excellent, Without a doubt!!
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
The disability shown by this ego centric man doesn't seem to effective him being a prick. He just has a small accident, yes he cannot walk but thats not grounds for suicide. Especially when you are mega rich and have the support of parents and a girlfriend. Sam Claflin, only playing a disabled guy to attract the ladies. Yet the only girl he can get is his carer, who has an odd personality to make munters think they can get a fit guy.
A flawless movie. Honest. Touching. Beautifully photographed at picturesque locations. Warm, tender performances from a stellar cast. Excellent writing with dialogue that flows effortlessly. A perfect balance of gentle wit, romance, and emotion, without ever being heavy-handed. Really there's nothing about this film that could have been done any better. I found it charming and captivating from beginning to end.
The twenty-six year-old waitress of a cafe Louisa "Lou" Clark (Emilia Clarke) is a charming woman that lives with her parents Bernard (Brendan Coyle) and Josie Clark (Samantha Spiro), her sister Katrina "Treena" Clark (Jenna Coleman) and her grandfather (Alan Breck) in a small town in the United Kingdom. Lou supports the whole family since Bernard is unemployed and Treena is a student. When she loses her job, she applies to the position of caregiver of the wealthy banker Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), who was hit by a motorcycle two years ago and became tetraplegic. Will´s mother Camilla Traynor (Janet McTeer), supported by her husband Stephen Traynor (Charles Dance), hires the unexperienced but happy Lou to take care of her son together with his nurse Nathan (Stephen Peacocke). When Lou meets Will, she finds a bitter, cynical and depressed young man that had lost the will to live. Further, she learns that the handsome Will was a successful athlete and banker. Will she lift his spirit? "Me Before You" is an adorable dramatic romance in the directorial debut of director Thea Sharrock. The central subject, euthanasia, is not discussed but it is easy to understand Will´s attitude based on his athletic and sexual performances before the accident. The chemistry of Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin and the beautiful locations in the United Kingdom are enough to grant a wonderful entertainment. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Como Eu Era Antes de Você" ("How I Was Before You")
This movie was heart touching, sad, and absolutely lovely all at the same time! It tells the story of a beautiful romance and a blossoming love. This movie has and will be in my heart. It has reached out to me to put others first before pleasuring yourself. Wonderful movie! The storyline is absolutely brilliant and amazing!
