Review of Me Before You (2016) by Barbara F — 09 Jun 2016

A truly heart-wrenching film. simultaneously inspiring and heartbreaking. I normally don't watch romantic movies because usually everything seems so forced and unrealistic. But this movie showed how the relationship between the characters built up, making us empathize and feel for the situations they are in.

It provokes the thought of the true sacrifices of loving someone and wanting them to be happy, even if it hurts you. People will have their biases about how the sensitive topic was handled. But at no time was the film ever disrespectful. It treated disability and the consequences of it fairly and respectfully.
