Review: Me Before You (2016)



Cliched, cheesy, soppy - and I loved it. Emilia Clarke is amazing in this film.

Sam Claflin plays Will Traynor, young rich playboy type that is involved in a tragic accident - one that leaves the once adventurous man a quadriplegic. Clarke plays Louisa Clark, a small town girl struggling to get a job. Their paths cross when Louisa is hired to look after Will at his family mansion.

What makes the film work is the pairing of Clarke and Claflin, and in particular, the beautiful performance by Clarke. She is as unlike Daenerys Targaryen as you could possibly get. The chemistry between the two and the thoroughly engaging story just makes this film a joy to watch. As I mentioned, it is cliched and cheesy, but damn it delivers that shot of love to your heart.

4/5
