Me before you series5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() There’s nice chemistry here, but the tear-jerking feels manufactured. ‘Me Before You’ presents itself as classier than its genre, but it fundamentally presents an imbalanced central relationship that comes off as quite sexist. The discussions about whether a life spent in a wheelchair is worth living, and the somewhat sexist nature of the main characters’ romance, are both problematic for younger viewers. Some language and jokes about sex, a few kisses, couples are pictured in bed together, some cleavage, some male shirtlessness, and a major plot involving assisted suicide. This romance is meant to elicit as many tears from viewers as possible with its story about a relationship between a wealthy quadriplegic man and the working-class girl who is hired to be his companion and caretaker. ![]()
