Watch Me Before You For Free

Brilliant and touching

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Not to sound cliche but the book is so much better than the movie. I've read the book twice; year's apart and I loved the emotion that it brought out in me both times. The first time reading it, I hated Will Traynor at the end because I thought he was some selfish prick who was accustomed to getting his way and couldn't see the beauty amongst the ugly. The second time reading it, I empathized with Will Traynor and realized I was being the selfish one. The book makes you confront the right to die decision from the perspective of many characters and you feel for each one. I cried, laughed, felt anger and many other emotions. In my opinion that's a sign of a great book.Too bad the movie didn't bring out the same emotions. The storyline was flat, the characters boring; with the actress playing Louisa Clark being downright annoying. It was as if she was forcing herself to be Lou Clark. Trust me, the Louisa Clark in the book isn't so cheesy. Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke also had no onscreen chemistry so you never get to feel the depths of how their relationship develops. The movie also leaves out details from the book that are important for both the character(s) and story and adds scenes that are completely unnecessary. In the book Louisa Clarks family isn't so cheery about their financial woes which is one reason why we see Louisa Clark not stray far from home so she can financially help her family. Another reason being the "maze incident", a scene the movie left out. To wrap it up, if you want to really get the meaning of the book and a more in depth feel of the characters skip the movie and read the book.

The most notable part of this movie is Emilia Clarke. It is always fun to watch fine actors in something besides their signature pieces that you knew them from. In the old days, John Wayne was always John Wayne. Here, you can barely recognize Emilia Clarke, a high compliment. She has nothing of the Game of Thrones' Queen. There is nothing of that character's confidence, arrogance and presence. She is wholly transformed. There are many other recognizable faces in the cast for fans of contemporary British acting--like one of Clarke's G.O.T. colleagues, Brenda Coyle from Downtown Abbey and Jenna Coleman from Doctor Who--but only Clarke becomes a completely different person. It is worth watching this just for that transformation. (For most of the movie, she even LOOKS puffier and plainer, not exactly the image presented in G.O.T., whether deliberate or not.) The movie...charming and bouncy at first, with a poignant and increasingly sappy overlay ultimately, is not as interesting as the cast, but it is well worth watching and nicely paced. To be sure, there is a certain inevitability as to where it is going, but for most of the movie the tone is light and it refrains from wallowing in despair. Until it does. Those last 20 minutes are the least successful, unless you just enjoy a good cry.

Instead of courage and strength in the face of adversity this movie displays weakness and cowardliness. Was glad for the voice of reason the mother gave towards the end. Euthanasia truly is nothing short of murder. Very upsetting the movie makes light of this terrible and selfish act portraying it to be the best thing. Wow how far we have come to applaud choosing death over life. It seems the main agenda here in this flick is to desensitize the audience into thinking we should just idly sit by and watch our loved ones kill themselves. If he had used a gun would they have held his hand as well? Sickening!

One of the movies you can't get over after one watch.Portrayed in the best possible way this story could be.You get every reason to judge Will for being a meek to opt for euthanasia instead of accepting the way his life was, but a lot more reasons not to, for this was not the life he planned .But he made sure he made Clark's life a better one. And through this he lived though he died at the end.
