WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Louisa (Clarke), an underachieving young adult, finds a job working as a caregiver for Will (Claflin), a young man who has recently been paralysed after an accident. Although he is initially weary of his condition and has plans to end his suffering, he is taken aback by Louisa’s bright and sparky approach to life, and it’s not long before both of them form a special bond with each other…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The popular book by Jojo Moyes – who also pens the screenplay – gets a feature film adaptation that hopes to have as much success as The Fault In Our Stars did a couple of years ago, but also stand on its own as an uplifting romance despite the odds.
