I don't care what anyone else says about the film. I'll just say Hilary Swank was incredible and totally believable in her role. I'm a 70 year old man. This was one of the best written and acted films I've ever seen. It also helped open my eyes a bit wider as to what an ALS victim, their family and their loved ones have to go though. I can't imagine why Hilary and this film did not receive more awards.

If I try compare this movie with "Me Before You", then I can say this movie much better. But some character is not remarkable. Swank's character is unrealistic, Duhammel's character look wooden and boring.And my biggest disappointed with this movie, what Mcmahon's character doing in here, so suck, awful, and asshole. Can't believe he take this role because so useless. C'mon.. can you imagine a person with title professor doing nasty scandal with his student? I thought his character more look like gigolo than a professor, there is no credibility. What a mess.

This is beautiful. Authors of "Me Before You" should watch this and then go to a corner to be ashamed of themselves. The ending song is really performed by Bec. Beside singing it, Emmy Rossum also wrote it. She instantly became one of my favorite actresses. However, "The Intouchables" still holds the throne on this topic.8,5/10

"You wanna die and you know that I won't let you" Kate (Swank) has the perfect life. She is a classical pianist with a loving husband. One day she notices something strange happening to her, when she is diagnosed with ALS her life is changed. After burning through caregivers she hires Bec (Rossum). This simple hire does more for both of them than they could have imagined. This is simply a great movie. I had trouble trying to figure out why Hilary Swank didn't get nominated for this. That aside the movie is tremendously emotional and full of heart. The movie will make you angry, happy and cry, sometimes at the same time. Rossum also does a fantastic job in this. This is not a movie that makes you feel sorry for Kate, even though you do. This movie gives hope and happiness to not only those suffering from the disease but also the care givers to those helping. I can not say enough about this and I recommend this. Overall, a great movie that Swank should have gotten more recognition for. Watch this. I give it an A-.
