gayle-23652 I guess we never know why people act the way they do. No one can judge.
seanwilson-28908 The film is nothing groundbreaking or new to the genre it falls under, however what it lacks in originality it makes up for in the acting and cinematography. The narrative is nothing original and it won't revolutionise the genre, however it is nothing less than beautiful, each element from the soundtrack to the shots chosen to the actors themselves seem to anchor well to the narrative curating an enjoyable journey about a generic couple of which the female protagonist seeks to find another person for the male protagonist. The power of this bond and community between all of the elements mean that the majority of viewers will be left with a tear in their eye. However I digress the film is not flawless, providing it exemption from the generic which has been identified in other reviews, the film is slow and lacking in some places and certain key events seem brushed over; a greater focus on these events would of likely made this film at least an 8*. The slowness of certain points does little to hamper the overall film however it is still identifiable and may leave a bad taste in some viewers mouths. Overall the film is a beautifully crafted product however its much alike a beautifully crafted table which has been manufactured for mass distribution. It is beautiful yet generic and leaves a positive impact but not a lasting legacy.
h-34889 Stephanie Laing director of this film show the audience how life is like with cancer and how tragic an ending could be. She shows that it's not just about dying and getting over a death it's about the learning process of accepting a loss loved one and the method of moving on. Even though this movie gives away the ending pretty quick, I would still highly recommend Irreplaceable You, it gives emphasis on life and how time is running out. The plot of the film starts off with the couple doing a voice over, talking about life would be not getting out of bed, Abbie says she doesn't have to worry about that because she is dead. Abbie and her fiancé Sam, who have been friends since early childhood, find out Abbie is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is trying to find a new partner for her lover Sam. It all started with the couple going to the doctors to see if Abbie was pregnant but eventually they found out she had cancer. Abbie joins this group to help keep patient with cancer more hopeful about living but Abbie think it's all a joke and doesn't take it seriously. Later on she meets a man from the group named Myron who she likes a lot and is happy they are friends. However things didn't go as planned and she realizes that she needs to take life more serious. Irreplaceable You can be related to a lot of different film such as, The clover field Paradox. The similarities of both movies show that life with cancer is like a clock ticking away and you don't have all the time in the world. There are very negative and positive thoughts I have on this film some of the negative thought I had that I didn't like was how the director gave away the whole ending in the first 5 minutes of the movie. It kind of ruined the movie for me and I wished they wouldn't have done that. Also I wish I wouldn't have watch the trailer because the trailer literally gave away the whole movie and watching the movie wasn't as fun. The positive thoughts I had on this were how I liked that Abbie and Myron has such a great friendship and how they would having out and look for a hawk. Throughout the film the camera angle was always zoomed into the characters which made it more dramatic, and it made me feel a sense of sorrow for the character. I also noticed that the camera wasn't on a dolly, but was held up by someone. The camera felt like it was moving with the actors which made me feel like i was there with the actors. The lighting of the film was low lighting film which made the actors more of a sinister look that made the film more interesting. For many reasons this film was shot and produced very well. Irreplaceable You is an emotional process of accepting death and eventually moving on. The movie is about a dying woman who is trying to learn to cherish what she has while she still can. The director portrays a theme of taking life more serious when you don't have a lot of time left.
solveigsorig I have never seen a movie I have cried so much to. I thought that after they show in the start of the movie that she is going to die, that it was going to be boring, but even though i knew she would die it hurted when she did. This is one of the best love stories ever. It's amazing. The ending of the movie was amazing, that was when I cried my heart out. I learned that we need to live and love while we still have the chance.
