Pleasantly Surprised

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2016)

I'm in a book club where this book was very well received.I didn't expect much from the movie but was totally engrossed Emilia Clarke was perfect in the role. She didn't over act and was terrific as the 26 year old somewhat klutzy caregiver of the quadriplegic young man.I was never bored for a moment.As only the Brits can do,it was totally realistic The screenplay, acting, music, cinematography, all contributed to a beautiful movie.It never descended into being too schmaltzy. I thought the casting was right on, & although it dealt with very serious issues, still I found myself laughing in many scenes, especially at Clarke's antics. Every character in this movie played their role to the tee, no under or over acting. For a lovely movie experience this summer,which deals with current issues, & will provoke discussion,do yourself a favour and go see "Me Before You. You'll be glad you did.
