Me Before You

Release Date: June 3, 2016

Starring: Sam Clafin as Will Traynor
Emilia Clarke as Lou Clark

Directed by: Thea Sharrock

Written by: Jojo Moyes based off the book by Jojo Moyes

When Louisa Clark loses her job she seeks any work she can to help her family. When she hears of a caregiver job for a paralyzed man she is worried but take the job. She soon learns that Will Traynor is a bitter person because of his accident. When he starts to open up to her she lerans that he is going to die with dignity at a specialty clinic in Switzerland in six months time. Lou's new mission is to show him the life that he can have even though it's not like it used to be, to try and change his mind.

This is one of those movies that gets you worried before you even walk through the door. It has the potential to be a great love story, yet there is great potential for it to me way to cheesy, and also offensive with the subject at hand.

It was excellent. There were a couple of naysayers online but there are always some with everything. It wasn't too serious and it was too cheesy either. It was the perfect balance for everything the film wanted you to feel. They made you see both points of view of the story of a man who thinks his life was taken from him way too soon.
