Love this movie. Best Netflix original romance yet! Not a cliche romance about cancer. Has the F word and the beginning scene has the two main characters under the covers kissing fully clothed but other than hat no other scenes.

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.

But I've got to give it to them, the derivative story which has its root in Love Story (1970) has made so that it works the best it can be without anything fresh in the script. There were some character dynamics and acting that really worked for me but at the end of it, it's just an umpteenth iteration of a romantic drama that was beyond any hope since pre-production itself.

But the one thing that I seem conflicted about is that I can't tell whether this movie is a dark comedy or a sad love story. I also dislike that at the very beginning it tells us what is going to happen. Give the viewer the chance to connect to the main character before already telling us she passed away!!! (sorry that part really bothered me). Also, I felt the film was somewhat low budget, or maybe they could have added more onto it, for example I think a scene of her funeral would have credited the movie better. Also, I dislike that at the end it seemed like everybody was too happy. IDK it just felt off, maybe I am too emotional. Nonetheless for being a Netflix Original, it is something you could watch to kill time. But I probably wouldn't watch it again. Oh last thing, CANCER SUCKS!!
