Irreplaceable You Reviews

Well, I keep trying with the Netflix original features but, to be honest, most of them turn out to be at best rather underwhelming and that's a rather generous statement. This movie was a perfect example. I mean, I have to admit it, it was not bad but if you have seen before some other movies dealing with a terminal patient, you won't see anything new here. Also it didn't help that they removed most of the ugly parts involving a death by cancer and I was amazed by how good Mbatha-Raw looked even until the very end. I won't blame Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Michiel Huisman though. Indeed, they both delivered some solid performances, they had some nice chemistry together and there was something really cute about this couple who had been together since they were some little kids. However, the whole concept of having her looking for his next partner after she's gone was never really interesting, as pointed out many times by the always awesome Christopher Walker. Indeed, Walken once again really nailed it and he was the only one who managed to do something really interesting with the material. Anyway, to conclude, it wasn't really bad and I guess it is worth a look but I'm pretty sure that I will forget it fairly quickly.
