You're Not You

When an accomplished pianist is diagnosed with the devastating and incurable disease ALS, she hires a directionless young woman who becomes her full-time caregiver. Complete opposites, the strangers form a life-changing bond inspiring each other to live life to fullest, while being brought together by the most challenging of circumstances.

Critics broadly found the two lead performances compelling but judged the adaptation inconsistently satisfying and emotionally conventional.

• Kate and Bec develop a fiercely honest relationship through daily assistance, confrontation, and mutual dependence.
• Kate's ALS diagnosis forces her to reconsider marriage, autonomy, regret, and what she wants from life.
• The central dramatic arc follows Kate and Bec as each woman changes through their unconventional bond.
• The incurable disease storyline and emphasis on devastating emotional consequences place the film firmly in tearjerker territory.

• The IntouchablesShared caregiver patient relationship, emotional transformation, disability drama, and unconventional friendship.
• Me Before YouShared intimate illness narrative, female-centered emotional drama, and poignant confrontation with mortality.
• The Fault in Our StarsShared terminal illness, caregiving, friendship, and emotionally direct tearjerker tone.
