Prime Video just got one of my favorite romantic dramas ever — and the critics are wrong about 'Me Before You'

Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke in "Me Before You" (2016).

Not all romance movies win the hearts of critics. Prime Video's latest addition, “Me Before You”, is the perfect example of a romantic drama that didn’t earn the praise it deserved upon release. Adapted from Jojo Moyes' beloved novel, the movie has received its fair share of critiques, and I can’t help but feel those opinions miss the mark.

Romantic dramas often get a rough treatment, especially when they don't adhere to conventional expectations of “taste.” Critics have long been divided, pointing to the movie’s portrayal of love and disability as problematic. But for me, this story isn't about oversimplified tropes or easy answers. It's about the raw, messy reality of human connection.
