What critics compared Whose Life Is It Anyway? to
Others (“Whose Life Is It Anyway?”) are built on characters and performances of such intense brio that we question the decision, even as we understand what a circumscribed life would mean to such a person.
The story belongs to Clarke and Claflin, and it plays like "Pretty Woman" one scene, "Whose Life is It Anyway?" the next.
“Me Before You” has echoes of everything from “Jane Eyre” to “Whose Life Is it Anyway?”
