Prime Video just got one of my favorite romantic dramas ever — and the critics are wrong about 'Me Before You'

Romantic dramas often get a rough treatment, especially when they don’t adhere to conventional expectations of taste.

Critics have long been divided, pointing to the movies portrayal of love and disability as problematic.

But for me, this story isn’t about oversimplified tropes or easy answers.

It’s about the raw, messy reality of human connection.

Me Before You carries a beautiful and impactful message about love and choice.

Instead, both characters go through their own personal growth.

Its a bittersweet, raw take on love that seems to have been missed.

Since shes new to classical music, she feels out of her element.

As the music plays, Louisa is visibly moved, and Will watches her with a fond smile.

And thats just a testament to how well the actors ground the movie.

It may not be a flawless movie, but the criticism it received doesnt feel entirely fair.
