Absolutely Fantastic

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I guess we never know why people act the way they do. No one can judge.

I have never seen a movie I have cried so much to. I thought that after they show in the start of the movie that she is going to die, that it was going to be boring, but even though i knew she would die it hurted when she did. This is one of the best love stories ever. It's amazing. The ending of the movie was amazing, that was when I cried my heart out. I learned that we need to live and love while we still have the chance.

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.

'IRREPLACABLE YOU': Four Stars (Out of Five)A romantic drama about a couple who have been best friends since childhood, and are now engaged to be married, who's happiness is destroyed when one of them is given a terminal cancer diagnosis. The film stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Michiel Huisman. Christopher Walken, Steve Coogan, Timothy Simmons, Kate McKinnon and Jacki Weaver also all have supporting roles in the movie. It was directed by first time feature filmmaker Stephanie Laing, and it was written by actress turned first time screenwriter Bess Wohl. The film has received mostly positive reviews from critics, and it was also released by Netflix through it's streaming site. I found it to be really sweet and touching. I definitely got a little teary eyed (briefly) too. Abbie (Mbatha-Raw) and Sam (Huisman) have been best friends since they were 8, and now they're engaged to be married and hoping for a child. Instead of finding out that Abbie is pregnant though, they find out that she has terminal cancer. Knowing that she could go at anytime, Abbie decides to dedicate most of her time to finding a new romantic partner for Sam (to take care of him when she's gone). She also makes a few new friends along the way.The movie is funny, in pretty dark ways at times, and it's also incredibly sweet. It's also (of course) a heartbreaking tearjerker. I know a lot of people that try to avoid films like this, but I love them. I really respect a movie that can get me really emotionally worked up, especially to the point of actual tears. This is one of those films. It's not a great movie, but it's definitely well made, and heartfelt.
