Live boldly.
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.

Well i have to say Clarke was absolutely amazing so sweet that she melt me down. Fantastic performances by both of them the movie won my heart with its story and broke me to pieces near the end.
I didn't expect to be so moved by such a little movie, but with a captivating performance by Emilia Clarke, the witty laugh out loud funny writing, and a heartbreaking but not too clichéd ending, made this film a little overlooked gem. Sam Claflin acquitted himself nicely, as did the entire supporting cast. Charles Dance and Janet McTeer as Will's parents, were a gelid and steely bonus no matter how secondary their characters were. I liked that they were never positioned in the story as obstacles to anything... Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter's Neville Longbottom) is again, chameleonic in the way he fits himself into characters, and Brendan Coyle (one of my favourites from Downton Abbey) were nicely cast. However, it is truly Clarke and the screenplay that stand out here. I've never read the book, and probably never will, but I liked the story very much. I also like that it didn't play like a Hallmark movie, and the banter between Clarke and Claflin was well paced and they worked their chemistry very well, right up to the last letter in Paris. This was a great little film... well worth the watch, just get some Kleenex.
As someone who read the book before I watched the film, I was really disappointed with the movie version. The film moves too quickly, it does not give the relationship time to develop between the characters. They also have changed Will's interests, in the book he is into classical music, in the film he is not (just one of many things.) The music choices on this film are awful as well. They acting is good, but I feel like this film had so much more potential. It's a watchable, enjoyable, film but nothing to rave about. If you haven't read the book I expect that you will love it. For those who have read the book don't watch it!
