Critics Consensus

Me Before You benefits from Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin's alluring chemistry, although it isn't enough to compensate for its clumsy treatment of a sensitive subject.

If you are in a certain kind of mood, this is an awesome movie. Did I cry most of the way through it, yes. There are lots of happy/sad moments to make that happen. Really love the actors in this movie.

The acting was anything but superb but Emilia Clarke is beautiful and hilarious as always, and the movie does have its touching moments. Definitely not a movie that everyone will enjoy however, I enjoyed it very much and recommend you give it a try.

Ableism as Romance makes disabled partners look like burdens and erasure look like love.

Punch Drunk Critics

Solid performances don't balance out the problematic parts of Me Before You, which are many.

Rated: 2.5/5

Times (UK)

Schmaltzy when it should be moving, phoney when it should be sincere, and borderline offensive when it should be thought-provoking, the high-profile rom-com Me Before You is almost a perfect cinematic calamity.

Rated: 1/5

The ultimate treatment of the heart of this story leaves us with a more bitter than sweet taste.

Sigh. Folks. It's 2016. I mean, seriously. Aren't we past these pathetic stereotypes by now? Can't we move away from these ridiculous disability as tragedy storylines?

Rated: 1.0/4.0

It doesn't have anything interesting to say about its themes or characters - they all exist within a generic and simplified love story.
