2016110 min7.9 / 10

A tender but melancholic romance about a caregiver's attempt to rekindle a disabled man's will to live, grounded in genuine emotional stakes and the weight of mortality.

Lou Clark, a directionless 26-year-old from the English countryside, takes a job at the local castle as a caregiver and companion to a wealthy young banker, Will Traynor. Wheelchair-bound from an accident two years prior, the once adventurous Will has all but given up — that is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living.
