Me Before You
Lou Clark, a directionless 26-year-old from the English countryside, takes a job at the local castle as a caregiver and companion to a wealthy young banker, Will Traynor. Wheelchair-bound from an accident two years prior, the once adventurous Will has all but given up — that is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living.
Critics Sentiment
Will and Lou enjoy their luxurious trip to Mauritius
Will tells Lou he still intends to die
The film crashes from its emotional peak in Mauritius (9.3) to its lowest point when Will reveals his unchanged decision to die (5.8), a devastating 3.5-point drop.
Me Before You builds steadily through Lou and Will's developing relationship, reaching transcendent heights during their romantic peak in Mauritius before plummeting when Will's tragic decision is revealed. Despite the controversial ending dividing critics, the film recovers with a bittersweet but hopeful conclusion that most reviewers found emotionally satisfying.
