Irreplaceable You


Irreplaceable You is a romantic drama starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Game of Thrones actor, Michiel Huisman. When Abbie, played by Gugu, receives a life changing diagnosis she and her fiancĂ©, Sam, played by Michiel, go through a roller-coaster of emotions coming to terms with the results. 

The plot was engaging. The themes of everlasting love, friendship and grief were all poignant in this film. The script was well written and smart with the comedic jab.

The character development and acting were done so well that you really feel for these people. Gugu and Michiel were great together. I was touched by their chemistry. Gugu really brought her acting chops to this role and did a great job carrying this film. I also enjoyed some surprising additions to the cast in Kate McKinnon as Glass Half Full Kate and Christopher Walken as Myron. They were both was very funny and helped to lighten up the tone of the film.

This movie reminded me a lot of PS I Love You, which is another favorite of mine. It was full of heart, stellar acting, some touches of comedic charm and just a full on tear-jerker. If you are looking for a good cry this movie is the one for you.
