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.

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

1/5

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.

Me Before You has no interest in the realities of life with disability; it is, rather, yet another variant on a threadbare formula.

Me Before You is a film that works well within its genre, but its weakest point is that a few situations are predictable. [Full review in Spanish]

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?

I didn't think i was going to like this film but i absolutely loved it. I'm a 45 year old male builder and i cried. I haven't cried for years and i feel better. Nothing is more expressive than Emilia Clarkes eyebrows. She also happens to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Some laughs, some serious parts and tears. Enjoy!!!

I thought the acting was good, but I did not like the story. This made me sad and reminded me of my neighbor who was a quadriplegic. My neighbor lived her life to the fullest and enjoyed life. She had difficulties but she enjoyed her life. This movie demoralized people who have these types of challenges. Instead the author should have written a story about Superman and what he did once he had a traumatic injury that left him disabled. He became an advocate for spinal cord injury and used his power/celebrity to make a difference. We can all make a difference.

Ótimo filme, controle de clima espetacular, ótimas atuações que melhoram o filme e encobertam furos de roteiro evidentes.

Louisa Clark me parece interpretada de una manera muy extraña por la actriz (me pareció no muy buena actuación y hacía caras muy raras) , lo que me sacó de la inserción. Además de que personajes como este y el del novio atleta me parecen escritos de una manera muy exagerada y cliché. Me gustó la escritura del personaje de will y como se resuelve la trama.
