Miss You Already (2015)
Maybe I missed the point.....
A film that thinks it's ticking all the boxes but it's trying too hard, it's trying to make people cry without making you like the characters, I love a film with heart but this is rank average and lacking in genuine heart and just annoyed me to a certain extent.
I lost my wife to cancer when she was 28 and I didn't even get close to a tear watching this, if that doesn't tell you the film misses the point then maybe nothing will.
Maybe it's harsh but it comes across as written by someone who is trying to imagine losing their wife or best friend to cancer, self indulgent and cliche, that's not what a cancer diagnosis is. I cry at so many films and this didn't touch the sides emotionally. Casting I thought was poor for the roles.
I've watched lots of films about cancer before and after my wife died and this is the first one that actually annoyed me, lazy filmmaking.
Don't think I've ever written such a negative review but just felt the need to watching it.
After Life (2019)
Nailed it
I lost my wife 5 years ago to Breast cancer, and tbh I didn't realise this show was about losing a wife to cancer when I started watching it, I wanted some comedy to get over being dumped by a new girl while sat in a hotel room for work. This show should probably be a no no for me but I think he just absolutely nails it that I've just watched it in one go, made me completely forget about this failed relationship and remind me about how special love can be while making me laugh out loud, cry and question why the hell I was with this new girl in the first place. Wasn't expecting this when I clicked Netflix on tonight!
