Not Another Love Story This movie and the book it was adapted from is not a typical romance story. Obviously, it does have two characters that fall in love despite their differences because what kind of love story would it be otherwise? However, it does possess a dark nature. If you're reading this review than I'm sure you've read others stating how "offensive," "vile," and "disgusting" it is. The movie touches on how deep a depression a person can fall into when you're life goes from extremely active to the complete opposite literally overnight. Some people can't handle spending decades of their lives in a broken body. And it isn't just depression that drives Will Traynor to make the choice he did. Being quadriplegic doesn't just mean you lose function of your limbs. You lose your ability to self regulate your body and to be completely independent. No, I'm not a quadriplegic and I don't personally know any, but I have done research for college and I completely understand how it feels when your body completely betrays you. And if you still think that Will Traynor is a selfish bastard for not giving Lou a chance, think about it another way. Yes, Will did love her, but he didn't want to be a burden.

Just drowning in my tears.. This movie is a must see. I loved it! Even though it did make me cry uncontrollably. A lot of people are appalled by this movie saying it promotes suicide. First of all, I'm sure most of you don't know what it's like to be quadriplegic.. or depressed, much less both. This is a real thing some people go through everyday. You don't know what it's like to be in someone else's shoes. Second, since when is a tragic love story resulting in suicide new? Would any of you give the great Shakespeare a similar review?

I did give this movie a 5 star, but it definitely was a struggle to overcome my anxiety that I had after watching this movie to be fair with it. I wonder how can a story like this make anything seem bright and positive. This reminds me of how terrible is it to lose good people, the biggest assets we have in the world. It reminds me of my parents who sacrificed all their desires to raise me well and give me the best opportunities to the best of their abilities and now their struggle with old age and medicines and injection, the idea of losing them one day. How could such a thought bring any joy or positiveness in our lives? One thing I do take from this movie is that we must be bold and be wiling to express ourselves as long as we can, as long as we have the luxury of it. And yes, trailers give away too much of the movie these days.

NOT DISCRIMINATING ANYONE I was reading through some comments and I noticed a lot of people saying "this movie/book is discriminating against the disabled" Because it was created to say "it is better to die than live in pain." My favorite part about this book/movie is that it not only focuses on what the friends of the disabled wants but what the disabled wants. This movie/book was created to say that the disabled should have a choice to not have to deal with the pain that goes along with being disabled. Read page 305 for proof.

(Spoiler!) Such a good/sad love story. (SPOILER ALERT) people say it glorifies suicide, but they obviously didn't understand what mind set the guy was in. And most people are taking this extremely personally. Just because this one disabled guy decided to die, it doesn't mean to be every disabled person's life is meaningless and should do the same. Try and put yourself in this guy's shoes and stop crying about how offensive someone's point of view is.

*SPOILER* It made me laugh and a meltdown cry, so in general it was a fantastic movie. My only problem with it is it didn't give a clear side to his pain. I wasn't real clear if his pain was physical or mental. If it was physical then I can empathize with his choice more but the movie made it seem he wasn't really in too much physical pain and wanted to end his life because he couldn't accept his new lot in life. In which case I'm disappointed. I'm still giving it 4 stars.

I loved it made me laugh 90% of the time, yes there's that darned 10% that brings tears rolling but in its entirety it's worth it. Sad to see how fragile the human nature is, regardless of the circumstances, I've read the critics about how not all handicap hate life, this I believe is a movie about frailties of the soul, it reminds me of Gattaca, which I suggest to all of you out there who add to criticisms it has one beautiful sentence "there's no gene for the human spirit"... This is what this movie is about. I've known people worse off that love life more than Clarke, and whole people who've hated it more that Will... Enjoy the movie❤️

Not a typical happy ending romance Not what I was expecting, it is a tearjerker! Still the entire movie was beautiful and worth it! Bring tissues though!!😂. Some pple say it is disgusting. They should be quiet, until they have endlessly sat unable to move even a finger and lived thru tons of pain. Some pple can do it others can't. Respect that this is another person's choice.

Amazing Movie Well worth the rental fee and nice to see not your typical love story out of Hollywood Just wish the characters would have spent more time together. The movie felt rushed in that sense but the characters were very convincing. I almost felt as if I was close to them or watching this happen in real life. SPOILER ALERT I'm very happy the producer's didn't make this your typical love story in the end. Dr assisted suicide should be available in every Country to those who deserve to die with dignity and respect

Love , Laughed & Cried 👍 I absolutely loved this movie. I was hoping for the typical happily ever after at the end. It was so 😢. I did not want Will die especially after he found love. He did not want to make her sacrifice her life or the life she could've had for him. Before the accident he lead such a full life. Once he became a quadriplegic he was filled with regret and longing. I could elaborate more but I won't. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!

Discrimination Im not normally one to complain, but this movie discriminates against the disabled by preaching that its better to die than to be disabled, and the movie neglects alot of things related to that, that could have changed his supposed mindset. Truly distasteful. The worst part is that the research done for the movie never bothered to collab with the disabled community. More Hollywood trash, that is disconnected from reality

Me Before You My New favorite movie. I laughed, I cried and watched it like 5 times! A must see, but get the tissues!

The movie was amazing and heart felt I cried my eyes out and felt everything the actors and actresses were feeling I think this is comparable to The Notebook and The Titanic. I never get tried of watching those movies over and over again and i know i would never get tried of watching this and crying on the same exact parts on which I cried today.. This movie was something and I would tell my friends to see this movie and to experience the power of love and finding yourself when you have not experienced life like Lou in the movie!!!!

This movie was amazing but makes you cry because of Will's decision of committing self suicide but Lou still should have went through with her plans to stop him but she's loves him and accepted his choice. I would also like to see the couple get married and not have one of them die

Great Movie But.. I'm not looking for happy ending but come on, how could she finally accept his Self Suicide, even when she did not at first, but she did later, Love is when you not let go the one you love no matters what happened.. How Can you let him kill his-self, that's terrible ending, otherwise the movie were great specially the scene of when they dance together and she sits on hid legs. Have a good time watching the movie, thanks yaw!

Good story, not my favorite The beginning concept of this story had so much potential that in my opinion just didn't quite wrap up well. I'm not a sucker for happy endings either. I like stories with realistic endings. I just feel like I didn't see the point , or the teaching behind this? I see some people say is to raise awareness about depression or people with disabilities but, yet I still don't see how this specific movie achieved that. Just my opinion. And now I'm super sad.

Glorifies suicide Movie completely glorifies suicide, if suicide is OK for someone like the character of this film, then why not for everyone else. At what point will it stop? How many who are in similar situations will watch this and decide to take their life? Fantasizing suicide as some romantic story is sick.

Don't give spoilers people I haven't seen the movie, but wanted to read what people thought. You guys gave away what happens. Jerks!

First off, if you are looking for a super romantic movie with passion and sleepless nights this is not the movie for you. Their romance is mostly emotional than physical which is just as good. This movie touched my heart so deeply. I haven't cried for a character since marly and me, just saying. WORTH THE WATCH!

Not your typical love story These Slice of Life films come a dime a dozen but once in a while you'll find one like this - a diamond in the rough. Watch with an open mind; all stories need to be told, respected, and measured for what they have to say. The characters here sparkle and shine as they are ment to. This is one film that will challenge you and stick with you long after the credits roll.

Best Ever! I fell in love with this movie and all the characters. Yes it's slightly sad but worth it!!

I absolutely love this movie, at the same time it made me mad. How dare he give up on her. She just found him and now she has to live without him. This will be the movie I will turn to when I need a good cry and little laughter. I loved her bumble bee tights.

Horrible movie about suicide and how great it is for disabled people. Absolutely disgusting. People are put on this earth to live for others not their own selfish pleasures. Wow really shows you how deprived of love people truly are.

I need to stop watching movie adaptations of books. The movie left out pretty much every part of the book that made the story worth telling. It completely lacked the motivation of the characters and made them feel shallow. The final scenes still made me choke up though. I hate good-byes.

Better than the notebook! Just got done watching me before you. Omg its so good! I was smiling and laughing and crying throughout the whole thing. I'm might get hate for saying this but its just as good (if not better) than the notebook. I highly recommend watching this movie if your into romantic movies. New favorite!!

Disgusting. As someone who dated a girl who is paralyzed from the waist down, the fact that he would rather die than live his life with the people he loves and newly loved, is disgusting. It isn't about being disabled. It is about doing what you can to live your life despite the new hand of cards you have been dealt. Live with those in the moment, don't waste it.

This movie is disgusting, vile, and ableist. Disabled people have lives worth living.

Fire before suffering He thinks his suffering in this world is bad, just wait. Excellent movie until his selfish decision ruins the end. Morality at its most twisted and worst.

Was great I would have rated it a 5 but I thought it was missing a lot of key components. They left out many parts of the book. I would still recommend watching though. I also would say it was a dysatopian romance, because it was sad.

Balled my eyes out I absolutely loved this film and the acting! It felt so good to feel all the wonderful feelings when Lou and Will were together. It felt good to cry as well. That may sound strange, but this film was absolutely perfect to me.

Me before you Let's me realistic this movie was depressing as heck. Reviews said 90 percent funny. 10 percent sad. Try 95 sad 5 funny. Not nice at all.

Me Before Ableism ABLEIST PIECE OF GARBAGE. THE AVATAR LAST AIRBENDER MOVIE WAS BETTER THAN THIS AND LESS OFFENSIVE.

Where do I start? Such an emotional, funny, charming and moving movie. If you have ever watched someone suffer from anything, and you know how it made you feel (to feel as if you are unable to do anything about it)...this movie will remind you that the one thing you can do for that person is...live. Emilia Clark was so delightful, I hope to see her in more movies. This was a great movie, completely different and fresh with a side of comedy. The serious parts are balanced with the funny in a way that does not take away from the tone of the movie. I enjoyed every moment of it.

Is There An Option For A Sixth Star? (possible spoilers) Oh my gosh. Tissues are a must when viewing this film. The ending was not what I thought it was going to be. I had hope. I had hope until the very end things would change, that he'd lift a finger and things could progress. But, ... that letter. Oh gosh. He really paid attention to Clark. If you cried during this film, you quite possibly know what I'm talking about.

Oh boy did i cry About half way through the film i started crying. Bring tissues!! Beautiful movie, amazing acting.

Promotes suicide...disgusting! This whole film is a propaganda piece for helping someone to commit suicide, and getting you to think it's cute and funny.

Just stop right there It really feels like the author fantasized about a relationship with a disabled person and read one too many "suicide is beautiful" bullshit theme books and this train wreck was the baby.

Hours of my life I'll never get back Don't do it. Just don't do it. You will regret every second and wish you were the one dying.

Maddening Life is precious! This book and movie romanticize suicide. The main character could have a great fulfilling life with a woman who adores, but instead gives up because it was how he pictured it to be. So disappointing.

Me Before You I'm not into the genre of sappy love stories, but this one is a definite exception! I laughed, cried, and pondered what makes up a quality life.
