About this movie

Oftentimes you find love where you least expect it. Sometimes it takes you where you never expected to go…Louisa “Lou” Clark (Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke) lives in a quaint town in the English countryside. With no clear direction in her life, the quirky and creative 26-year-old goes from one job to the next in order to help her tight-knit family make ends meet. Her normally cheery outlook is put to the test, however, when she faces her newest career challenge. Taking a job at the local “castle,” she becomes caregiver and companion to Will Traynor (The Hunger Games’ Sam Claflin), a wealthy young banker who became wheelchair bound in an accident two years prior, and whose whole world changed dramatically in the blink of an eye. No longer the adventurous soul he once was, the now cynical Will has all but given up. That is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living.

The film essentially functions on the sheer will and personality of Emilia Clarke. Although it's a serious film and tearjerker to boot, it's so fantastical in plot that it makes Star Wars seem plausible. Plot essentials: Dour patrician financier with quadriplegia is charmed by a blue collar caretaker who takes the job out of desperation. Predictably, she will get under his protective armor. Sam Claflin plays the patient with the panache of a very depressed Hugh Grant. A serviceable tearjerker.

Quirky and cute. Be sure to have the tissues ready though.
