The story is about Kate who is diagnosed with ALS, a disease that threatens her livelihood and also her life. Bec is a brash college student and would-be rock singer who can barely keep her wildly chaotic affairs, romantic and otherwise, together. Yet, when Bec takes a job assisting Kate, just as Kates marriage to Evan hits the skids, both women come to rely on what becomes an unconventional, sometimes confrontational and fiercely honest bond. As meticulous, willful Kate begins to rub off on whirlwind, spontaneous Bec - and vice versa - both women find themselves facing down regrets, exploring new territory and expanding their ideas of who they want to be.
This is not a new premise, but it manages to create empathy in the audience through a great story about vulnerability and extreme dependence. [Full review in Spanish]
Here's the frustrating thing about You're Not You: Wolfe clearly knows what he's doing and has the actors to pull it off, but he's tasteful to a fault.
Nicholas Sparks didn't write You're Not You, but he might as well have, given its familiar disease-of-the-week plot filled with scenic locations and gorgeous people.
Despite offering a well-timed look at the realities of the disease, the movie clunkily eschews cinematic creativity for emotional manipulation. Inquisitive ice-bucket challengers, consider yourselves warned.
