Irreplaceable You (2018)

I am not sure. Maybe the problem in a shell is that the movie needed to be longer so it would have more depth. I wanted to laugh and cry. I smiled sometimes. Didn't touch me enough to cry. There are some spectacular lines, with depth. But in a story with so many characters and so many... Too much happening, ruined the depth I am sure was intended. I didn't even get to connect much with the characters. I really wanted to love this movie. But didn't. Michiel Huisman, so handsome and cute. That voice... But again, they don't get deep into his character so not even him could save the movie.

Fmovies: The sound and editing and writing are painful. If you enjoy the Hallmark channel, you will love this film. I hope this is not the direction Netflix is going.

This film is about a woman with terminal caner, who tries to make her fiance's life perfect after she is gone.

It is hard to summarise my feelings for this film. On one hand, it is a beautiful story because the woman is so protective of the fiance. On the other hand, she can be viewed as overly controlling. The story is very touching at the end. It is also a great thing to see so many famous faces in it.

Irreplaceable You fmovies. I'm not sure I could have fully appreciated the nuances and impact that the story conveyed without having personal experience of family members, and close friends suffering cancer.

Once again Gugu Mbatha-Raw gives us a barnstorming performance, showing a full range of emotions and character flaws. The stages of grief, from bargaining, anger, disbelief, through to expectance beautifully displayed. The whole story arc of trying to control the future for others rang true with my own experiences.

The supporting cast were all on form, especially Christopher Walken & Jacki Weaver, stealing most scenes that they were in with bittersweet irony, and tender emotions.

Ultimately some aspects around the story of the perfect couple together from the age of 8, annoyed me a bit, they just didn't quite seem plausible, but by the end of the film, if you're not bawling your eyes out, you have the emotional range of a teaspoon!

3/22/18. While the acting was really good (though overdramatic at times), it was really, really depressing. Not sure if this is even a therapeutic movie to watch for those in Mbatha-Raw's circumstances. I get it that she was trying her best to gain some control over a situation in which she has very little control over, it was really depressing nevertheless.

I personally found this movie to be quite entertaining, however, the ending of this movie put a strong squeeze on my heart. This movie broke my heart because I could relate to it. This movie was a strong reminder of how we take life for granted.
