Me Before You is based off the book and stars Sam Claflin (Finnick from the Hunger Games) as Will Trainor a young man living his life before a Motorcycle Accident sees him paralyzed from the neck down meanwhile Louisa (Emilia Clarke) is trying to find a job and she sees an ad for a full time Carer for Will and takes it not knowing what may lie ahead for both of them.
I actually quite liked this film, I thought it was a very nice weepie and it also was willing to delve into some more serious themes and ideas which most would normally shy away from, Claflin gives a great performance as a young man in his Prime consigned to a cruel fate not of his making and one that he struggles to come to terms with like some would (others would of course come to accept that but it was nice to see the struggle) and again I think he is an underrated young actor and I want to see more of him in the future.
Clarke meanwhile kinda got on my nerves after a while with her version of the Carey Mulligan Cryface which started to pull me out of the film as it went on, she and Claflin have some good chemistry but her own individual performance just wasn't as good I don't think as Claflin's was but I also thought Thea Sharrock did a good job in the director's chair.
And so that was Me Before You, a well made Weepie that was willing to be a little deeper than others in the genre and I think it's worth a watch, 3 out of 5.
