Über diesen Film

Young and quirky Louisa "Lou" Clark (Emilia Clarke) moves from one job to the next to help her family make ends meet. Her cheerful attitude is put to the test when she becomes a caregiver for Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), a wealthy young banker left paralyzed from an accident two years earlier. Will's cynical outlook starts to change when Louisa shows him that life is worth living. As their bond deepens, their lives and hearts change in ways neither one could have imagined.

Surely one of the worst films ever made about disabled people (and entirely from the perspective of non-disabled people, wallowing in the Tragedy Model of Disability). The non-disabled author's message? It's better for the World if we disabled people kill ourselves to stop being a burden on others rather than ... adopt the Social Model of Disability and demand that society adapts/adjusts to our needs. This is disablist claptrap wrapped up in sentimentality. Avoid this, research "T33" instead.

Everything about this movie is perfect. The cast, the script, the soundtrack. Despite knowing how it'd likely end (given the name of the story's sequel) I still kept on wishing there would be that happy-ever-after ending. In a way, I suppose there was. One to pull at the heart strings. It gives enough to let you fall in love with the characters, and by the end had me a blubbering mess! A rare thing for me. It was sweet, and touching, it's just a shame it had to end - I could've watched the relationship grow between Will and Lou for far longer than the movie allows.

This was the most beautiful and heartfelt film that I have seen in a long time. Emilia Clarke plays the character brilliantly! Loved every minute. Definitely brings a tear or two to the eye.
