Dying girl drama with not enough comedy. |
| Irreplaceable You stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Abbie, a young woman diagnosed with terminal cancer. A drama (with touches of comedy) about her short journey towards death; it’s about her acceptance or unacceptance of her fate, her need to plan for life without her, and how she wants others to respond to her tragedy. Movies about dying girls all suffer as the same sort of melancholic dramedy and need a hook to set it apart. | 2018 Directed by: Stephanie Laing Screenplay by: Bess Wohl Starring: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michiel Huisman | |
