Review of Me Before You (2016) by Natalie W — 09 Aug 2016

I'm glad other people on this site have been more charitable about 'Me Before You' than the professional critics for the posh papers. There were some flaws certainly, yet the film handled its central issues most deftly.

But here's a professional question for Ms Moyes: While writing the original story did she consider reversing the situation so the disabled person and his family were stymied further by having to rely on state handouts with a little padding from the haphazard kindness of passing friends and strangers? Or is someone going to tell me I've missed the point?
