I Hate Romances. I sure liked this one. You get no Spoilers Just My Opinions.

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2016)

IMDb says this is a drama / romance. They are sure right. My Wife had tears streaming from her eyes from the middle to the end. In some places she actually sobbed. For me, that settles it, this is a drama / romance. (She has never cried at one of my Sci-Fi movies??).
So, Here we are somewhere in the British Isles. I believe that the old castle is actually in Wales. The scenery is sometimes breathtaking. Will's family compound is an amazing stately mansion. Will lives on an upper floor which is his "apartment" and very modern for something that is a few hundred years old.. The Castle is really authentic, right down to the oyster shells mixed in the brick and mortar walls.
Will is a sad case since he is a quadriplegic. Along comes klutzy Louisa (aka: Lou) Clark. She' in desperate need of a job since she is the only working soul in the family of a half dozen. She comes to the Traynor home for a job interview. She stumbles, stutters, sweats, and fumbles her way through the interview with Mrs. Traynor. Who, by the way is the epitome of a British, rich living, Matriarch. With all the hi-jinx by our heroine, Madam Traynor sees something that causes her to give Louisa the job right then and there. The true adventure of drama and romance now starts with Lou's first meeting with Will. It is the same story we have seen a couple million times from the Hollywood folks. That fact does NOT mean that this is another "Ho-Hum" offering. There is a lot of psychological undertone just shooting around all of the main characters that is not much different than watching the Pleiades Meteor Showers.
Sam Claflin did a fine job at a tough role. It isn't easy playing a quadriplegic. It is as hard as it must be to actually be one. Emilia Clarke is wonderful free spirit known as "Lou". Remember the girl in your high school class that couldn't even breath, chew gum, and walk at the same time. Well, here you are.To top this off, she has a fine sunny persona that does not allow anyone within a days ride to be somber. Remember, I have not said anything about her crafty and sometimes brilliant strategies. I will give you one more bit of info, Lou's friend Patrick (Mat Lewis) really irritated me. He was such a jerk that I wanted to throw him into the North Sea.
This movie is the kind of stuff you watch on a rainy Sunday as you sit and sip wine while watching.
Even I liked it and I hate romances.
