Ablist garbage

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2019)

This movie is ablist trash and honestly I'm surprised that the author got away with never interviewing an actual person who has quadriplegia and main source of information on the subject cams from a family who helped their child with quadriplegia commit assisted suicide which wow is maybe a little bit biased no? This author is speaking on a subject as an able bodied person who wants to romantise other peoples realities and basically glorifies a handicapables suicide. If this story was about an able bodied man and his depression his suicide would be tragic, but because her leading man has quadraplegia his death is hailed as a necessary sacrifice for the people he loves. This movie is trash, the love story is trash, and Jojo whatever her name is uses degrading language both in the book and the movie, using terms like "quads" which news flash isn't how people with quadraplegia refer to themselves which she might know if she ever bothered to interview one. As someone who works in the medical field this movie is a nightmare and I would hate for any of the people I know who have similar medical needs to watch this movie and think that what Sam did was something they should do "for the sake of their loved ones". If I could rate it 0/10 I would have. Do yourself a favor and go support people who actually are fighting for the rights of the handicapable community and not trying to kill them off for a plot twist.
