Review
If you are into heart-felt movies, Me Before You is the one for you. The phenomenal acting makes you immersed in the characters and the scenes of the movie. The actors fit their characters well and were able to convey the emotions of their characters. Not only that, but the chemistry between Lou and Will was amazing. Although I laughed and smiled so hard many times, I have never cried so hard before this one. Tears rushed down my face and I was unable to stop even after the movie ended. The acting was so powerful that you can feel and understand both characters’ emotions and have a connection with the characters.
The plot was a classic rom-com, with a bittersweet ending. It was comforting to watch and my heart was warmed throughout the movie. The film sends a beautiful message to the viewers. It teaches to live life to the fullest extent and to appreciate life in general.
Me Before You is available to watch on Youtube, Apple TV+, and Amazon Prime Video.
