Not the kind of movie I would generally go see, but my wife read the book, so I was there opening weekend. Actually not a bad film. Me Before You is about a carefree man (played by the Hunger Games’ Sam Claflin) who is left paralized after an accident. He has given up on life but his parents hire a companion to try to cheer him up, played by Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke. At first she thinks he is standoffish and maybe even snobby, but when she finds he intends to kill himself, she makes it her mission to change his mind, and of course ends up falling for him before the end. Further proof that you can enjoy movies that aren’t in your normal wheelhouse. Clarke is so serious in Thrones, this is a nice change for her, as her character is a goofy, quirky young woman who is full of life. I wouldn’t call it brilliant acting, but it is believable and the film is a good date night.
