Ableism as Romance makes disabled partners look like burdens and erasure look like love.

| Aug 17, 2021

The ultimate treatment of the heart of this story leaves us with a more bitter than sweet taste.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2021

Sigh. Folks. It's 2016. I mean, seriously. Aren't we past these pathetic stereotypes by now? Can't we move away from these ridiculous disability as tragedy storylines?

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

It doesn't have anything interesting to say about its themes or characters - they all exist within a generic and simplified love story.

| Original Score: C | Jul 13, 2020

I didn't get it.

I didn't approve of it. I think it's a bad message to be sending.

Through sheer force of charm alone, Claflin puts the audience into his moneyed and manicured corner, to wish him whatever happiness he and his chipper miss can muster.

| Original Score: C | Oct 21, 2019

The necessary dramatic 'crescendo' does not proceed naturally as it should, but in a completely automatic way, following each and every one of established clichés. [Full Review in Spanish]

Sure it looks glossy and has pretty people in it but the message is horrible.

| Original Score: D- | Apr 12, 2019

Unfortunately, a handful of quality performances isn't nearly enough to salvage Me Before You.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 19, 2019

The film unintentionally comes off more cynical than romantic. [Full Review in Spanish]

While I expected too much of Me Before You, I still enjoyed it.

Me Before You is one of the most refreshing romance movies to hit the big screen in a long while.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 9, 2019

Although a stereotypical story with type-cast characters, the subjects depict the human experience and appeal to sympathetic audiences and romantics, its simplicity giving it the ability to connect to audiences on a universal level.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2018

A film adaptation of a much loved book always comes with great expectations, and Shakespearean director Thea Sharrock did not let us down. This is an excellent maiden effort.

| Aug 22, 2018

Simply put, this is escapism at its worst. But who cares? Some tear ducts are in need of cleaning, and if it takes a possibly offensive and badly directed melodrama to do the job, then let it do it.

| May 1, 2018

Leaving aside the complex issue of assisted dying, one of the film's biggest problems is how much Me Before You shields the audience. For a supposed romance, it's surprisingly prudish.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 22, 2018

How awful ... the moment you realize that everything about their relationship -- gooey, romantic junk food that it is -- is merely the lead-up to a much grander emotional manipulation.

You cannot change who people are, but you can accept them for who they are, giving and taking to do everything in your power to make both lives special while they last

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2017

It is hard to appreciate a narrative that can only skim the surface but then again Emilia and Sam's chemistry makes you buy into their cozy world.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2017
