Mon âme soeur

This film is about a woman with terminal caner, who tries to make her fiance's life perfect after she is gone.

It is hard to summarise my feelings for this film. On one hand, it is a beautiful story because the woman is so protective of the fiance. On the other hand, she can be viewed as overly controlling. The story is very touching at the end. It is also a great thing to see so many famous faces in it.

3/22/18. While the acting was really good (though overdramatic at times), it was really, really depressing. 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.

It was ok but felt it could of been,so much better.

It mainly focused on her finding a replacement,for her-soon to be-husband.. Honestly if he was even that,for the movies duration.

He showed lack of depth for a genies,let alone a guy having the woman he loves dying of cancer.

It had a very instagram edited vibe,with a fantasy feel of her disease.. She lost a chunk of hair,big deal! I lose more than that brushing mine.

It had some decent casting which seem wasted on the overall storyline,as mentioned cinematography felt average & acting blah!

Had a few moments,it touched me & that was in the edited previews.. why I watched it!

Also the sound was horrible,not as clean like the previews.. Rather odd.

Irreplaceable You is a likeable film with talented actors. It's too bad that they did not develop it into more. All in all it boils down to one sentence. "Don't die before you're dead but live until you die". It could have been so much more!

The premise of this movie had me very excited to watch. I am a sucker for chick flicks, romance movies and tear jerkers so this looked like it would be right in my wheelhouse. Unfortunately this never reached the heights it had the potential to go.

The movie is constructed as a tear jerker but while it gets close at times, they never do a good enough job of creating a close enough relationship with us and the main characters for us to care enough as we would in other great sad movies.

While Gugu Mbatha-Raw is fantastic in this movie, Michael Huisman's performance really drags the movie down as he is infuriating with a lack of emotion about the situation, both lack of sadness but also anger at Abbie's decisions and he just doesn't care enough which makes it hard to invest.

The decision in the middle of the movie that Sam makes is just plain stupid and left me not wanting him to end happy at all. The movie tried too hard to be different when they already had a great idea with a fantastic actress that would have worked if they hadn't tried too hard to be unique.

The supporting parts were well done, particularly Christopher Walken, and I connected much more with his and Abbie's relationship in the movie than I did with Abbie and Sam's.

A final nitpick was that they made the strange decision not to have Abbie appear physically sick at all. Her appearance barely changes throughout and it just makes no sense and once again loses an opportunity for us to connect.

Some great acting overall but it gets dragged down by a bad performance from Michael Huisman and poor writing. So much potential and it is my favorite type of genre but really disappointed with the outcome.
